I've been on a lot of runs, mostly physical, but the most important run I've ever taken, was a run away from suicide.  September is Suicide Prevention month and I'm humbled to share my voice on this most serious and important topic.  Whether you have struggled with depression and/or suicidal thoughts yourself, you have a family member or friend that struggles, or you've lost a loved one to this fight (that likely includes all of us) this episode is for you.  Please share this important message with as many as you can.  We need to be educated.  We need to have resources.  We need to keep talking and destigmatize this issue.  My heart goes out to all of you who have been affected in any way by this struggle.

My personal story as I wrote it in 2019: https://runbydawn.blogspot.com/2023/08/running-from-suicide.html

My church has amazing resources on this topic.  That link also has reference to MANY other resources, including suicide prevention plans and crisis hotline numbers around the world.

Love this beautiful song: Choose to Stay.  I chose to stay.  I hope you will too!
