The stress of the holiday season is now here. With family, friends, loved ones, and presents on the way I am reminded that it is important to take time for myself. It has been especially hard lately because I’ve been going through a lot of changes in my life. One being, I quit one of my jobs because it was an abusive situation which was very unhealthy emotionally. I am dealing with feelings of guilt and loss, but ultimately I know this really is for the best. So this holiday season I am trying to remember to take care of myself as well as the other people I love.

Greetings from India, where I am traveling on assignment. They call the terrorist attack in Mumbai 26/11, and being in India now has brought back to mind what it was like to live in New York after 9/11. The mental health toll of terrorism is large and complex—and worthy of attention. I will continue to blog from here!
