| Introduction | I am the author of the book Mountains and Melancholy: A Collection of Poetry about Life With Depression. I battle depression and anxiety and am passionate about opening up discussions and removing the stigma surrounding mental illness.I am the author of the Coping with Depression Blog at HealthyPlace.com. I'm a wife to an amazing husband and a mom to four wonderful children. My youngest child is adopted from China; she is visually impaired and has developmental delays. I am also passionate about reaching out to other special needs families, and I lead a local special needs support group. I enjoy coffee and books in the morning; in the evenings, I switch to wine and books. |
