I began building the Respect Your Gift message in 2017.

Three years later I created Volume ’19: a summary of the year’s best content.

Since then I’ve created a “volume” video at the end of every year.

Introducing, Volume ’23:

Five things I’ve learned about the topic of mental health and my message as an advocate.

1. Foundational:

The foundation of mental health can support everything from enhancing our lives to saving them. That’s why it’s important that we build our foundation with constructive thinking, traits and behaviors.

2. Respect Your Gift:

We respect the gifts we’ve been blessed with by taking care of our mental health and we take care of our mental health with wellness. 

3. Wellness:

Wellness is the active pursuit of good health: mind, body, spirit. And wellness is how we build a foundation of strong mental health.

4. S.S.G.D.

The small steps are how we practice wellness and build a strong foundation. The great distances are what that foundation can support: everything from enhancing our lives to saving them.

5. The Solution:

When it comes to our mental health using wellness to take care is the closest thing we have to a solution, so keep going.

Small steps. Great distances.℠

You know… Let’s go!℠
