Me? Stressed?

Welcome to Let's De-Stress. So glad you stopped by. While you're here, may I ask you a question?

On a scale from one to ten, how stressed are you? Go ahead. Admit it. There's no need to be shy. You may say, "Oh, no, I'm not stressed. I never allow anything or anyone to bother me."

Wonderful. That's really wonderful. Except, the truth is we're all plagued by stress. Living in a stressful world, among stressful situations, around stressful people, we ultimately find ourselves at different crossroads of stress. Whether mental, or emotional, or financial, or relational, or whatever, stress plays a tremendous part in our everyday lives.

A week or so after surviving a serious heart attack, a friend admitted to me that she had been burdened with severe stress for some time, but she'd never imagined that stress could cripple, and almost kill, her.

Be not deceived, "stress" is a killer. There's no nice-and-easy way to say it, other than to tell it like it is. Stress is one of the most ruthless killers in America. And for each life that it doesn't destroy, it certainly complicates. So what do we do?

For starters, we'll congregate on this blog for the purpose of revealing and releasing unhealthy stress. We'll consider every available resource we can find (even if we have to invent some) to help stomp out the dangerous affects of stress. We owe it to ourselves. Don't you agree?


Peace I leave with you . . .
