Note to Self: Be True

"Let's tell the truth to the people. When people ask, 'How are you?' have the nerve sometimes to answer truthfully. You must know, however, that people will start avoiding you because they, too, have knees that pain and heads that hurt and they don't want to know about yours. But think of it this way: If people avoid you, you will have more time to meditate and do fine research on a cure for whatever truly afflicts you." -Maya Angelou in Letter to My Daughter

We Want YOU!

Greetings! Salutations! & Welcome!

Welcome to the WASATCH WOMEN'S ALLIANCE for MENTAL HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS official blog! A good friend and I have been talking about gathering a group of women who work in the mental health field and starting a group dedicated to the proposition that as we care for others, we need to care for ourselves. As we all know all too well, our needs, wants, desires, and sometimes just a few minutes of peace and quiet are the LAST things on a long list of TO DOs on any given day. So, we are making it official! We are starting an alliance to connect professionals in a supportive way. First of all, we need to get a "board of directors" together, or "bored of directors"...whichever you prefer! If you are interested in being a part of the genesis and synthesis of this alliance, please contact me! I want to hear from you! As we grow, we hope to be able to provide a nice array of support, services, some laughs, and maybe even a slice of sanity. Okay, sanity may not be available, but for those who know me, CHOCOLATE is always available. In my world, chocolate is a constant for my sanity. We are looking for your wit and wisdom, your hopes your dreams, your fears and your triumphs. If nothing else, hopefully this blog will serve as an outlet for a good laugh, a source of strength, or even comfort in knowing we are not alone! Sorry for the long and rambling diatribe...Bottom line is this: We'd love to have you on board in whatever capacity you choose! Please feel free to email me if you are interested in helping us get this project underway!

Ciao for now!
