Hello, all

Esperanza magazine is working on an article, “Hope in Recovery from
Depression,” and wants to talk with people with depression who have found
that setting goals and working to achieve them tends to make them more hopeful
and more likely to recover.

Has goal-setting worked--or not worked--for you? Goals can be large or small.
* A person who has not left the house in weeks may set a goal of walking
around the block
* Cleaning a closet
* Reconnecting with family or friends
* Taking a course at a community college
* Returning to work

The article is not about religion, but the magazine is interested in how
spirituality may play a role in hopefulness and goal-setting.

Responses are urgently needed. The magazine has a deadline this week.

If you want to share your experience, please contact Donna Jackel of Esperanza
directly at ddjackel@... or 585-797-8246

Please also forward this message to anyone whom you think might be interested.

Many thanks,

Bob Carolla
