Welcome back my little ghouls and goblins, or witches and warlocks. . . whatever it is that you prefer. Personally, I’d be a little witch. If you haven’t already caught on, it is officially Spooky Season and I couldn’t be more thrilled. As I write this post it is the day after our wonderful Friday the 13th with a beautiful harvest moon. This will get to you much later, but this is when I am officially full Halloween mode. In other words, the best time of the year (do you think I like Halloween?).

It’s getting closer and closer to the time that all of us adults get the joyous pleasure of signing up for open enrollment. For those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s where we get to figure out what type of health insurance we can and cannot afford. Now, some of you reading this may be sitting in another country, where universal health care is a right, thinking what does she mean the health care they can and cannot afford. Well, you heard me right. Here in America we are not entitled to the same health care that our neighbor next door is. It is completely based on income. Messed up, right?

As most of us know, September is suicide prevention awareness month. With that being said, I was going to write this post at the beginning of the month, but I couldn’t seem to find the words. If I’m being honest, I still don’t quite have the words. But, here we are, writing, because this is an important topic.
