I just learned that someone I only sort of know, but greatly admire and respect, is experiencing depression.I’m not sure it’s right for me to reach out personally at the moment. We aren’t close and I didn’t hear this news firsthand. But there a lot of things I’d like to tell her, if I could.I
I love going for walks in my neighborhood. After being on the phone in my little office for most of the day, I can’t wait to get out and move. As soon as feasible, I grab the double stroller and two chatty kids and hit the sidewalk. I’ve walked in light rain and I’ve walked in

I can’t tell you how often I see people looking for instant relief. They wonder why their understanding doesn’t always help them in the way they think it should. “I hear you”, they say, “so why don’t I feel better?”Or, “I think I get what you’re saying but that doesn’t help me now. I still
