~Helpful Resources~
Salutations:
I confess that I write about diverse topics and some may touch on certain feelings and moods more than others, some that constantly tap on your inner windowpane. You'll find a list of helpful resources to review and contact, if you or a friend ever need someone to talk to.
Do consider reaching out…
"Sometimes, reaching out and taking someone's hand is the beginning of a journey.
At other times, it is allowing another to take yours." ~Vera Nazarian~
