Thriving after – a destination point – a place of going beyond – a result of reinvention … or to play on the Star Trek theme: going where you have not gone before. Let me explain. Life has a way of showing up in unexpected ways…circumstances show up. I sometimes call them “landmines.” We are bopping through life and wham… something happens that wasn’t much of a blip on the screen before … or even if it was, we thought we could deal with it or stop it from happening. Wrong. It happens. How do we deal with these landmines ..

COULD THE PROBLEM BE US? When speaking with a friend about teenage suicide, I asked her if it would surprise her that every classroom I walked into over 90% of the students know someone who has had a suicidal thought?

We’re all in the same boat. We just have different paddles, and perhaps we find ourselves on different rivers. We all live in human bodies. These are the vehicles in which we move through our world. We are all made of flesh, blood, and bone, with brains, hearts, and lungs to power us. Our paddles—the tools we use to move through the world—vary, as do the bodies of water—the environments—in which we find ourselves. Some of us use our high IQs to get where we want to
