On Wednesday of last week, I went to the program "To Write Love On Her Arms." It is an amazing program that works with people of all ages and walks of life. Their goal is to make sure that everyone knows that their story is unique. And even though we all go through tough times there are resources out there to help you through them. And more importantly you are not alone. Thousands of people struggle with problems of depression, cutting, and attempted suicide. They are putting resources out there to help people and say it is OK to ask for help. What Jamie is doing is incredible. He quit his full time job to work only on this project and it has paid off. He is making an effort to stop people from during destructive things to themselves and seek help so they can live to see another day. If you haven't heard of it I recommend at least checking out the site. It is really cool what he is doing to help people rethink taking their life.

Here is a link to watch a video, interview the founder did with NBC Nightly news. It gives a quick summary of what the organization is about.
