August will be here in a few days and I will spend much of it on the road doing research for my new book and squeezing in a much needed and too short vacation. Not only is the deadline for the memoir that I am helping Jessie Close write quickly approaching, but I am starting work on a new novel. This past week, more than 6,000 of you visited my blog, leaving behind in excess of a hundred comments. While I found most thought provoking, especially the ones that told personal stories, there are simply not enough hours in the day for me to keep up with my writing assignments, write blogs, give speeches, answer emails, and now add the extra duty of having to monitor comments. Something has to give and I have chosen it to be monitoring comments. I will no longer be publishing comments on past or future blogs, but will continue posting blogs each Monday along with guest blogs on Fridays or repeats of my earlier ones.
Enjoy the rest of your summer and thanks for your continued efforts to improve our mental health care system.
