The young aren't worried about what people think; the old have learned to stop worrying.

This blog is about living with bipolar disorder and about how my Christian faith has helped me cope and develop a life that is full and satisfying. It deals with some of the frustrations and anger I feel about the injustice and damaging effect of stigma.
About Me
- marja
- As a person with bipolar disorder and a faith in Jesus Christ, I write about mental health issues, esp encouraging a more understanding view by the Christian church. In an effort to help my church give support to people with mood disorders, I started a support group called "Living Room." Now groups are starting up elsewhere. I'm in my mid-sixties and feel I have a lot to share - the fruits of a "long" life - and I love doing that.

You are an amazing photographer! Great pictures and very inspiring.
Love the pictures!!!
QUestion, do you always take pics in black and white or it doesnt matter??
Can't wait to see more:)
Another question: do you always take pictures of people or of places too?
You're very close to one of the world's most beautiful place:
Lake Louise.
hah hah and the insane didnt worry at all ;)
Thank you all for your comments.
Sarah: I don't very often shoot scenics because my husband is so good at that, I leave it to him. I do like photographing flowers though.
My people photographs are always in black and white. When you shoot in color, the color of the clothing or background takes away from what's most important, the facial expression. B&W produces photos that have a more artistic feel.
Marja!!! It's me, Shebee...sorry I have not responded to your comment you left on my blog until now...I think I was in manic mode and felt like I didn't need this service...now that I'm feeling depressed, I realise that I still do and I am thankful that it is here. When I read your comment I cried...finally, a woman of God in MY OWN CITY who has a church group that deals with mood disorders. God answered my prayer when you placed your comment to me. Thankyou so much. Your will never know how much it means/meant to me. However I can get in contact with you would be a great tidbit of info for me, as I would like to visit your group. I hope that this encourages you as well; that you use your 'weakness' (as the world see's it) to encourage and include others in the Faith. God bless you Marja.
