It seems to me that depression is, at its essence, a feeling of being pressed down, unable to get up, unable to effect change in one's life. The sad place...what does your sadness tell you?

Challenge Day courageously seeks to end bullying in schools. Co-founded by Rich & Yvonne Dutra-St.John, I had the honor of interviewing them.

Balanced is breathing. When you slow down and breathe internally, life gets just a smidge easier, externally.

You know that feeling you get, right after a really long, hard, cry--suddenly something in your body unlocks (for me it's across my chest, my heart) and then shoulders drop and everything feels incredibly calm and clear? When I was finished crying, something in me was unlocked. I feel like I can breathe, again. Even breathing feels alright.
