Flashback. Nuns at Catholic Daycare in Habits. Grape juice and crackers. Even Catholic kids are selfish and mean. Flashback. I pissed my pants. I couldn't kick the big red ball at kickball. I don't know anyone's name.

When Angels Speak - Channeling Madeline
I have been guided to share this message with you. “Dear Grandma: I know I am on your mind today because, of course, it is the day that I passed. I know you are hurting so please bear with me what I am about to say. I know you love me, I know you want me back in your life, but I simply can’t. I have moved on to a new energetic way of being and I am asking, no, begging you to do the same. I see you struggle to find love, acceptance, and a place in the world that makes sense to you. I am telling you that you are loved and accepted every moment of every single day, because you were created to serve and shine your light brightly. It doesn’t matter that what you feel with your earthly senses cannot “see” what I see. I know it for a certainty. You do have a purpose and you are living it, even if you don’t know it. The universe knows and I am sharing this wisdom with you. Don’t play small. Don’t listen to the ones who tease, mock, or abuse you. You are on the right path, you are deeply loved, and this short journey you are on is just a microcosm of an infinite performance that you are a player in. Every breath you take contributes to the uplifting of souls. Embrace your life and live without the fear of letting me go. I know you have grieved, I know you have suffered. Now, I want you to get on with your life, live to the fullest and don’t ever think that I measure how long you have grieved for how much you loved me. It is palpable. I love, love, love you. I am here always.”

Dear Phoenix Series - Letter #1
Dear Abuser, You took a lot from me. You took my freedom, my sanity, and more importantly, you took away who I was. Even to this day, you still taunt me in my thoughts. However, I have accomplished more than I could ever imagine. Linkin Park came out with a new song called the The Emptiness Machine. It just came out recently, and honestly it applies to the situation you put me through.

Suicide Prevention: Honorable endeavor or impossible mission?
Suicide is a serious subject and I haven't written about it seriously or intellectually for most of my writing career. I've written many poems expressing in various ways the emotions and thoughts of a suicidal person. I've also written some stories in an attempt to shed some light on the matter. However, today's submission isn't about being "suicidal" or dealing with mental illness. In this article, I'd like to discuss mental health in general and the Florida Mental Health Act of 1971 (also known as The Baker Act). I'd also like to share my personal experiences with suicide, crisis stabilization facilities, and my overall opinions about how people should handle this subject. What makes me an expert? Do I have a Doctorate degree in Psychology? No, I majored in English. But I've spent 25 years in and out of the "insane asylums" and on and off prescribed psyche medications. I've been to hospitals in Florida, New York, Illinois, Georgia, and New Jersey. I may not be qualified to prescribe medications, but after 25 years of experience as a diagnosed and treated patient, I feel quite confident in my expertise on the subject.

Proper Injection Techniques and Angles: A Pharmacist's Essential Guide
Pharmacists, especially those working in community pharmacies or clinics, often go beyond the traditional role of dispensing medications. Administering injections to patients is a critical part of their responsibilities. However, giving injections requires more than just skill—it demands precise knowledge of the proper techniques, angles, and procedures to ensure safety and effectiveness. Administering an injection at the wrong angle can lead to complications such as tissue damage, infections, and even improper absorption of the medication. Therefore, understanding the correct techniques is vital for both patient safety and the pharmacist's professional competence.
