Thanks, Helen. The world is a crazy place nowadays, where emotional incontinence has come about through various stages of learned helplessness that very few recognise. As an individual you can only do the best you can.

Thanks for this, John. I had no idea about your book - looks intriguing!

I note that social media can prey on particularly the female need for appreciation and recognition (see Billy Joel's Tell Her About It :)), and highlights how the unhealthy side of this can easily turn into anxiety and addiction. I'm learning to flip that limit into a learning experience, which is very helpful indeed. I'm also loving watching my sons become young men and I'm just in awe of them as the individuals they are!

The Prophet is such a timeless book. I kept giving copies I bought away because it was such a great gift, until friends gave me one signed by them all so I'd keep it at last :).
