Okay I'm biased but I think a column written by someone with your expertise, thoughtfulness and determination is going to gather steam and help inspire a national conversation. I'm with you all the way, go for it! Sarah
I salute your decision to no longer write as a city side columnist and to write less frequently. This will give you a shot at being a national voice about a subject that, God knows, needs attention and discussion. With your newspaper chops and your family experience, I know “FACEing Mental Illness” will be an important part of a much needed national discussion.
I will miss the type of articles about Sarasota that you have written, but I’m very happy that you will be taking on a topic that you are passionate about. I look forward to reading your future articles on mental illness.
Thank you for all that you have covered with HT and the Chronicles - such thoughtful and insightful coverage. Your sense of urgency and time resonates with me and I look forward to whatever form your work takes on!! All the best 🌳
Carrie - I am very happy that you have found your path and we will follow you where you lead us. With your knowledge, talent and determination I know you will continue to have a significant impact on each of us. Make us more aware, make us think, challenge us and we will become a part of the solution!
Bottom line - happy to read WHATEVER you write, Carrie! We who are so vitally interested in the topic of mental illness are so very fortunate to have such a beautiful "voice" as an advocate. I will happily share with friends and family your subsequent publications/podcasts/ whatever. Go get 'em gal!! 👍❤
Carrie, I too, have a child with serious mental illness -borderline personality disorder. She was an awful teen and early 20s but around 30 got stable and did well until she had a complete breakdown. It was years of watching her self destruct, which left a grandchild deserted at 16. I get it. I look forward to reading posts about your new direction, and I applaud the support that everyone needs.
So glad to see you are continuing this great project. It was most def one of my favorite HT projects to take photos and video for while I was there. Keep it up! <3 <3 <3
I think we all feel this way often. For me, it helps just to reach out to another with a phone call, a note, or a small box of home-made cookies. I also pray specifically for people who ask or whose needs I know. Do what you can, whenever you can.
You can't go wrong with following your inner nudge! Especially since human mental health is the most important issue next to the environment. We must find a sustainable solution in both realms, otherwise we are doomed. Go for it Carrie, I am rooting for you!
Carrie good for you. Dealing with DNA/chemical imbalances combined with environmental influences is a tough nut, but helped if not solved, by someone of your caliber. Best of luck.
And stick with you we WILL!! So eager to read your work and to observe the influence and change that you can bring to our world. Indeed, you must be true to your self, and you are!! Carry on - chic
