Perfectionism is armor. It's not internally driven like healthy striving. It's externally driven and fueled by "What will people think?" Perfectionism is a shield that keeps us from being seen. Here's to a genuine, unarmored, messy, awkward, compassionate, less-than-perfect week.
Depression isn’t the same for everyone. But for me - and perhaps for Bourdain - it has meant feeling everything a little more. The highs; the lows. One thing is common: the stigma. I’m talking about mine for the first time publicly because we owe it to ourselves. #talkaboutit 1/
#DidYouKnow more than half a million Oklahomans don't have access to mental health and substance abuse services? Contact your legislator today and let them know you support behavioral health. https://t.co/vIMWiXtYRz
Oklahoma now leads U.S. in incarcerating males and females, dethroning the long-time Leader, Louisiana. This is nothing to brag about, but represents a systemic flaw in our criminal justice system. https://t.co/WJJaA6i6QE
I'm going to continue to post this image as long as we keep prioritizing money over lives.
I don't want us to be lulled into thinking this is normal. This is a choice.
The children who died today were our neighbors.

Bishop @pb_curry sermon from the Royal Wedding: “There’s power in love.
Don’t underestimate it.
Don’t even oversentimentalise it.

28 years of sobriety/recovery yesterday. With self honesty, humility, motivation and a strong relationship with a Higher Power, it WORKS. It ain’t easy, but it is simple!! #gratitude
Here I am asking Scott Inman a question. He’s term limited and left Twitter. I think he should still tweet because his opinions are good (sometimes). He said if this gets at least 100 RTs, he’ll come back. #ReactivateScott
Day or night the fact remains that 123 people die by suicide daily in the US. Check out the mural on @ahhatulsa before it's washed off Monday! It's all it's chalked up to be so share your pics with the hashtag #TooBigToIgnore

My Mind Matters at the State Capitol with @OkCoa and @TerriWhiteOK! Between 700,000-900,000 Oklahoman’s are living with mental illness and/or substance dependence. Only 1 in 3 are getting the services needed to be well. Treatment saves lives, families and tax dollars!
