Dr. Mara on living a passionate life in this time.

Part of passionate living is self-compassion and there are times when we have to ask for help.  This is Suicide Awareness month and, so, this is a reminder that there is always someone available to speak to for support if you ever have thoughts of hurting yourself.  The National Suicide Hotline number is open 24/7:  1-800-273-TALK (8255).
