I am committed to ongoing personal growth and believe firmly in the power of the individual to overcome adversity and transform one’s life. The word "spirituality" is a misnomer, as I believe what we are actually seeking is a deeper connection with our own true spirit. It's not something we obtain outside of us, but that we drop down into. Sometimes we have to drop down into the darkness of our beliefs to make new decisions about life, self-worth, joy, and abundance. And sometimes those beleifs that we hold inside are so frightening, we can easily get frozen within depression. I appreciate the creative energy you placed into suggesting new titles. You have quite a range! The depression book is just about to enter the hands of the graphic design artist and may be in print as early as late January 2010! The final title is..... Depression Freedom: Ending the Reign of Darkness Wishing you a heart-filled journey, Annette Dear Andreiko,

Over the next few weeks, I'll begin posting more information about the direction of my depression book, and describe more fully what spiritual depresssion, sometimes known as the dark night of the soul, really is. Until then, thanks for the feedback and the title suggestions! Dear Kathleen and Nat,

My mom had depression for many years and I too had felt depressed. The difference for me was that I was aware that I was depressed and knew that I could choose something differently if I just allowed myself to. So many individuals experience depression in some form and don't know that they can move beyond it. Plus even more individuals are experiencing depression symptoms due to the rapid changes in our global consciousness. More people are waking up to discover that they don't really like their lives or themselves and desire change. I don't know the direction you're taking with your book but I think it would be great if the title alluded to the idea that depression isn't necessarily bad or that they are not bad for experiencing depression. Perhaps: Loving Yourself through Depression :-) Annette, it is wonderful that you are writing this book. My mom had depression for many years and I too had felt depressed.

I've been thinking about your article ever since I first read it and still can't get a handle on what "spiritual depression" really is. To me, any form of depression, is what is going on in our minds. Personally, I believe the word "depression" is used too literally. When a person is feeling down or low, does this mean they are depressed? Life is a journey and we have to accept the bad things as well as the good things that happen to us or others as part of the journey. I find that unhappy people are those who figure they aren't getting what they want or deserve out of life, so they beat themselves up over this. As for the "dark night of the soul" phrase, it reminds me of a horror movie. I'm going to do some recearch on this, for sure. I spent my 60th Birthday yesterday at the Spa and thoroughly enjoyed it. Had a mud bath and a great massage. Chat more soon, K. Congratulations on your new project and a belated Happy Birthday!
