Change is as good as a holiday

I decided it was time to clear the dust around here and change things up a bit. And here’s hoping a new look with give me the kick up the butt I need to actually blog more often! Yes, I know I say that often, and I often fail, but hey, I can try, right? lol

On that note, I came across this little gem and thought I’d share it with you all

Change the stigma

So, you all know I generally keep things pretty light around here, just artsy, everyday stuff. But today, I have something a little more important to share. I’d like to share this video with you all, and I really hope you’ll take a minute to watch, and perhaps pass it on.

Here in Australia, I’m told the ratio is actually greater, with 1 in FIVE adults suffering from mental illness in any given year, and almost half will struggle with it at some point. I myself suffer from mental illness, and am all too aware the stigma that is attached to those two words. Please, take the time to watch and share
