Significant change usually happens from the inside out. Instead of trying to change the circumstances or another person, work on yourself. The deep interior work we do on ourselves, often creates the change in circumstances and relationships. - paraphrased from the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families

I want to thank everyone for the support the last four and a half years. I will be closing my office this coming week, as I have accepted a position as a Military and Family Life Counselor and will soon be working with soldiers and their families. Looking forward to this next chapter in life and the opportunities that it will bring.

I just want to share a thought for the day. When we invest in ourselves and being healthy mentally, spiritually and physically; it provides increases in our personal happiness, peace and enjoyment of life. Sure a new shiny toy on the drive or a nice vacation, can provide a temporary distraction to ease our personal pain, but only when we are able to process and release whatever has us bound up inside, are we truly able to experience all the joy that God has in store for us.

Living in rural areas or small towns used to be a huge obstacle to overcome to receive mental health services. That's no longer the case if you have access to a computer and the internet, you have access to services. If you know someone who lives in Kansas and could use some help navigating a personal crisis or a couple who could use some help with their relationship, have them reach out to my office. 913-481-2089 or email me at thethirstformore@gmail.com

Did you know that the state of Kansas ranks dead last in mental health care? One of the reasons is access to services. If you or someone you know could use counseling and therapy, but no one is in the area to provide services, consider contacting me. I can provide services virtually to anyone in
the state of Kansas.

Many times the catalyst for change in a person comes from unconditional love and emotional support and not from unsolicited advice. Hurting and struggling people need to know you care, before they are ready to hear any message you might want to deliver.
