Hope everyone’s having a great day! I wanted take a moment and share some good news with you.
In June I was interviewed by THE DRIVE magazine for an article on mental health and thriving under pressure.
The creative director saw my TEDx Talk and reached out for input into their next issue. How cool is that!
Consequently, I will be their mental health expert for their “Pushing through the Boundaries” issue being published in August.
Which includes a professional photo shoot at my most favourite place, Blue Heron Lake. Pinch me please!
Nourishing mental health while reaching for the stars is something I hold dear to my heart. So please stay tuned for the rest of the story!
I’ll be sure to post a link to the interview soon!
Your Turn:
I’d love to hear your good news too!
Thriving Under Pressure 
So exited for you! Congratulations, looking forward to the follow up article.
Thanks so much Michelle! I will be posting a follow up article with the link soon! 😊
Congratulations! It seems there is more and more need for information and resources regarding mental health. Thank you for helping everyone! My good news is that I *finally* got a good idea (I believe) for my next book. 🙂 Have a fantastic day! – Caroline

Simple pleasures.

Congratulations, Andrea! An honor well deserved.
My good news: Our long-awaited HVAC replacement work is scheduled to start on Monday! After two years of suffering summers, in about three weeks (hopefully less) from now, we will have the proper ductwork and two brand-spanking new units that will properly heat and cool our house!!
Dancing the happy AC dance for you! 💃💥
Congratulations, Andrea!
Thanks Syl! 😊
You’re welcome! 😊
Congratulations, Andrea! What a wonderful experience to look forward to. Good things happen to good people. No doubt about it. I am having a celebration lunch today with my 23-year old daughter who has just been hired by an Indianapolis school district to teach kindergarten. She graduated from Butler in May and has been student teaching and interviewing since then. She is only back in Chicago for the weekend for a CPR class. Life is good! Have a great weekend!
Such good news Tony! Smiling especially when I read “my 23-year old daughter who has just been hired by an Indianapolis school district to teach kindergarten.” 📚💚
That is fantastic. It is my dream to be on TEDx. I love this site. Let us know when we can watch you!
Hello Lawrence!
Let this post be a sign to keep your TEDx dream alive. I had the same dream too. And March 1 2018 it came true!

If you like it, please share on social media.
Keep Dreaming Lawrence!
Hello Doctor,
Thank you so much for your message and words of encouragement. I will forward your link to my contacts with pleasure. My question is: how How do you get the exposure in order for TEDx to contact you.
I’m not a doctor, I just a BAD with lots to say and share.
In the meantime, I’ll keep dreaming.
All the best and Peace and serenity
Great questions Lawrence!
Be on the lookout for TEDx events in your local area or state and simply apply & fill out the form.
It’s more about your unique idea than your credentials. There was a high school student at my TEDx too.
This may give you some guidance: https://www.inc.com/amy-morin/how-to-become-a-tedx-speaker.html
Hope this helps!
Dr. D 😊
It helps a lot, thanks Doctor.
Yay!
Good news here: got an inspection yesterday at school for my career advancement and everything went great!
Positive vibes everywhere 😄😄
I love it B! 💃💥

Congratulations Andrea, what exciting news! I’m thrilled for you. As for me, I’ve had a travel article accepted for publication in a month or so, so I’m pretty chuffed. Have a wonderful weekend. 🙂
No wonder you’re pleased Miriam. That’s great news! Though I’m not surprised given how detailed & colourful your Australian travels posts are.
Thank you.
Congratulations, well done :O)
Thank you!
This is awesome! Congratulations 🎉. My son is in town for the weekend. Can’t get any better than that. 🤩
I love hearing your good news too! Have a wonderful weekend with your son Bernice. How lucky he is to come home to you. 😘
Wow! Good for you! Enjoy!
Thanks VJ! Good thing I got my dancing in today! 😉
More to dance about I should think!
This is GREAT news! How fun is that? And for a cause you’re passionate about! Can’t wait to read!! Please keep us posted. Congrats!
You’re the best! Thanks Jenny! I love your excitement for me. The fun part was how unexpected it was. But that’s how the universe works. Magically, behind the scenes. 😉
Yes, and that’s part of the fun! Unexpected blessings 🙂
Fabulous, congratulations. My good news – well, I think my creative mojo is waking up after a bit of a break.
Wonderful to hear. Taking a rest is the best remedy for just about everything. Especially creativity! Thanks also for your encouragement Barbara. It means a lot.
Congratulations!
Thanks so much Nahla.
I’m delighted for you Andrea, it is nothing more than you deserve for all your efforts and realness. I’m looking forward to your next update! My good news…my son who struggled with bullying & health issues is actually sitting his Leaving Certificate exams, something I only dreamed could happen. I’m so proud of his resillience, proud of him. Thanks for asking!
Oh my goodness Marie. That is such wonderful news!
There is no doubt that you have provided a safe and loving foundation for him to bounce back from all his adversities. His challenges may come and go, but his resilience will last a lifetime. Wishing both of you success (it takes a family!) during his Certificate exams! So proud.
Thank you so much Andrea for your very kind words. We have all grown and learned a lot. One supportive piece of advice was simply “Just love him” and that’s what we did!
Wow!!! This is fantastic and I am so happy for you – and for all who will read this interview!! Congrats!! Xo
Thanks so much Sandy! I love your enthusiasm! I’ll be sure to post the online version of the print magazine in September. Andrea ♥️
Congratulations!
Thank you! I hope you find some good news to celebrate too. Including your gift for rhyming and poetry. Everything counts!
Aww, that’s so sweet! Thank you! I am thankful daily for it. Especially since it is fairly new to me (for letting a bitter grudge go). It’s all a part of the universal process; which I recently discovered how some of it functions.
Sounds intriguing! Trusting the process of your life can be so freeing. And based on what you’ve shared, I think you’d appreciate this blog post too. https://drandreadinardo.com/2016/12/11/what-are-you-ready-to-let-go-of/
Congratulations!
Thank you! What’s your good news to share?
Big and small uplifts count equally. ✅💚
Well it’s Friday!!
TGIF is the best! 🎊
