Part of our mission in sharing the Ears Wide Open? video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BjpS2YdR0s is to raise awareness of the potentially devastating effects of depression. To stay true to that mission, from time to time we will post information in this blog that hopefully will help those of you who are personally struggling with depression, and those of you who have family members or friends whom you want to help.
Life is a journey, one that we live one breath at a time. Breathe. Just breathe. Share. Just share. Live. Just Live.

EWO Debut
Are you listening? Are you seeing? Are you caring? Are you helping? Are you loving? Are you laughing? Are you living?
Ears Wide Open? is a video project designed to help raise awareness concerning depression and suicide among middle-aged adults. Written by a mother who felt that death was her only way out, and produced and directed by her son, Ears Wide Open? delivers a poignant message of survival, of hope, of living.
You can help share that message by sending a link to this blog to your family and friends, and by watching the video. Together, let’s spread the word and save a life or two along the way. Because at the end of the day, that’s what matters most of all.
Watch for the video coming soon to Vimeo and YouTube!
