I chat about the rest of the week that I had since my last episode.  I give thanks for the support that you gave me this week as I recalled my friend’s life.  I also chat about my migraine headaches.  They have been bad for me.  I also have two surprise phone calls at the end of the episode.  I guess that jealous podcasters were trying to interrupt the recording of this episode…just kidding.
I hope that you all have a great week out there!

Were you ever the victim of a bully?  Did you fear going to school?  What did you do about it?  In this episode, I talk about the bullying that I was a victim of and what I did.  I also still discuss how this bullying caused deep harm to my friend to the point the he ended his life.  I talk about how sticks and stones may break bones, but words go beyond the physical to the emotional and become worse than a bruise or cut.

National Suicide Prevention TalklineI chat first of all about all of the comments that have been left on my blog.  I then chat about the death of a close friend of mine and the struggles that resulted.  I post the graphic to the left for a reason.  Not only do I mention it on my podcast, but I thought that if you don’t listen to it, you can still access the phone number here.  You are are suicidal, call 911.  If you are needing to talk to someone regarding local resources where you can chat with someone and get some help, then call the “Talk Line”.  It is: 1-800-273-8255.  If this posting helps just one person, then just perhaps it was worth the struggle to put this episode out.

I’m doing okay.  It has not been easy.  I wish that I had some friends here in Nashville.  It’s been hard.  I’m making it through somehow.  Thanks to some long distance friends I’m holding on.  I hope that you are doing well.  If not…reach out.  Please!

Your Nashville Friend,
