Originally, this blog was going to be limited exclusively to those topics that will be featured in my upcoming novel, The Study. The bulk of the conversations in this blog, and those I want to have with real people, are still going to be the main focus. Since I began working on the entries, however, I have decided to broaden the scope of the conversation to anything interesting (to me), as long as it is not the more polarizing issues of today.
As someone who wants to fix public education, and gave up on the current system this year, I will focus on many issues surrounding this fundamental institution of modern democracy. As a person who has lived with clinical depression for over 30 years, I feel this is a conversation that needs to be had. I have experienced the fact that a lack of awareness in those who do not regularly experience this condition can produce negative effects in those who survive with this extra weight in their minds. As someone who has struggled to have a healthy relationship with food, I want to share those thoughts and experiences, with the hope of normalizing the struggle and work toward balance.
If you, as a reader, would like to have a conversation about any of the topics discussed in the blog, make an appointment with me. The goal of the conversation is to hear and be heard. The point is not to change someone's mind, but to understand the motivations for opinions and the facts that drive them. An open mind and willing ear is required by both parties. Mine are ready; are yours?
