This is a blog entry I’m titling Left of the Dialogue: Opting for Optimism. I’ll every so often possibly post a Left of the Dialogue entry with a subtitle re: the topic.
With 20 years as a Mental Health Advocate my goal is to empower followers, readers, and audience members to choose hope over helplessness. The hope is that we’re here to support each other as we evolve and grow and to work out whatever our purpose for being here is.
To this end I’ve changed my mind yet again. There will be no political screeds in this blog. I’ve deleted the last remaining posts about what has been going on in this sphere.
The NYC MetroCard transit fare card shown above is 15 years old. On the front is the magnetic swipe. On the reverse side that you see the MTA printed the word Optimism by an Artist.
In the face of what’s going on I choose not to let the world’s craziness invade this blog anymore. I’m confident that optimism is possible when like I’ve written before one person reaches out to help another person.
Everyone living on earth is likely in recovery from some kind of challenge.
My intuition tells me that it will take eight years for things to get better. The way forward as I see it is to write blog entries that utilize my sense of humor and wordplay to educate, empower, and entertain followers.
I think this blog should be amusing and give joy most of all.
Opting for optimism is called for more than ever.
Avanti!
