first off.. and not really my main point.. but it was sad to see this tragic event overshadow the shocking events in norway.. certainly not amy winehouse's fault.. and no doubt a reflection of the impact that she had on this world.. as well as a reflection...

Wow, that's a pretty crazy statistic. Seems like the video might make an impression, but I'm not literate enough in Oz culture to say. Good luck with it!
imp_:

zenwave is being set up to sell individuals photos with the proceeds going to a charity of the donators choice (from a pre-selected list of partnering charities)...
to get the ball rolling would be great to receive some pics and where you would choose the proceeds to go.. and why...

Have you investigated whether or not eating gnocchi is contributing to your feeling crappy? It's pretty nasty stuff, albeit tasty. Maybe you should eat more fruits and vegetables.
SFTU sounds cool.

Hhmm. not something I've considered.. I'm trying to eat better (like actually cooking at home in instead of eating out).. and gnocchi being nice and quick helped me achieve that.. but definitely need to build in more vegetables.. and fruit though I do have a fair bit at work...

Well done! few pepole learn to move forward with depression let alone help others! (many 
's for you, for the effort). I think the little things become the big things, my saving grace now is that I have people whom, I can just spill everything too! (plus the depression group on SG, is great too).


inkedbuddhist:
thanks to you both
panther.. you've hit the nail on the head!! soften the fck up is exactly about raising the opportunity for people to be able to spill everything out.. its the biggest tool in battling depression..

its nice to think of the world as a dream..
when you wake up from a nightmare.. you tell yourself it was a bad dream..
they say the world we live in isn't very different from a dream...
