Beyond Blue

For the last couple weeks, I’ve been blogging about “Saving Grace,” and how Grace battles her demons with the angel Earl at her side encouraging her to choose the path of love and healing, not isolation and fear. Beliefnet has a free iPod to give away to the person who writes the best story on…

Dear God, The prophet Isaiah paints a beautiful picture in today’s reading (Isaiah 11:1-10): On that day, a shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse, and from his roots a bud shall blossom. The spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him: a spirit of wisdom and of understanding, a spirit of counsel and…

The other day I e-mailed Beyond Blue reader Blanche to thank her for defending me on the message board of my video on “The 12 (Bipolar) Days of Christmas.” A reader was terribly offended by my lyrics and suggested I write a little jingle about all the people who kill themselves at Christmas. I so…

For this week’s interview, I get to interrogate a woman who asks other people questions all day. Score! I love interviewing therapists. Because most of them are so complex and intriguing that they went into the field of psychology to learn about themselves. Right? Therapy Doc, a woman from Chicago with lots of degrees and…

You can find Therapydoc’s original post, “Coping/Managing Stress and Anxiety,” by clicking here. I have excerpted parts of it below. Someone once wrote in asking for my personal secrets, my coping strategies, not just a lot of psycho-babble. How do I handle stress? This person, I happen to know, has a really high stress professional…

I really enjoyed Therapydoc’s post entitled “Bananas and Video Games.” To get to her original post, click here. Following are excerpts. The Thanksgiving holiday marks the season of joy for some, but for others it can be very depressing. As a matter of fact, you may know that for TherapyDocs all over the world, it’s…

The real meaning of Christmas doesn’t have anything to do with newly purchased gifts wrapped with just the right bow. If you are as cheap and tacky as I am, it’s about matching which of last year’s gifts with the right person this year.

You really should read through some of the comments on “Dear God: 40 Ways to Keep Your Lover.” They’re quite funny. And some have compiled their own lists, which are hysterical, like this one from reader Jill: Holy Moly! No wonder you are depressed if you try to live up to all these rules and…

Last week I received the most meaningful e-mail from a Beyond Blue reader, Mike, who recently lost his wife and was celebrating Thanksgiving without her for the first time. “I lost my girlfriend, wife, and mother of my children,” he wrote. “We had 46 years of marriage which allowed us to glow as a couple…

Unfortunately, Christians don’t believe in reincarnation. Jesus is our only hope for getting it right. He’s a big deal. That’s why Catholic schools are closed for three weeks in December–in celebration of Christmas and to give miserable parents a reason to talk to God … a lot.
