Thanksgiving…
 This is a copy of an email I sent to Thirty Seconds subscribers.  I thought it was fitting to share with non-subscribers as well.  It’s been a rough year.  I don’t even know what to sa...more

Hi Andy,

After reading a couple of your blog posts, it will be my honor to follow not only your blog but your life crusade.

The edginess you claim is a reflection of your inner turmoil, Just remember your words transpire what your heart aches to scream...I applaud your courage to step outside the normal conventions of depression and therapy, and creatively seek to find solace in sharing.

Oh, one more thing...I challenge you to give your blog a more positive twist, for your wife...she needs to know that you will be in an amazing place. You need to see the lessons and remember the magical moments that have made you the wonderful-caring-out-there-blogger-you-are!

Namaste,

Miriam Leiderman
