No easy cures The journey to solve and cure this disease has been in progress for many decades. Given me a space and place to flourish. The happiness ritual Joseph Campbell the famous author of the “The Hero with a Thousand Faces” described it: “Create a sacred place. You don’t know what took place in the newspapers that morning. Have a sacred place, use it and take advantage of it. A place of creative incubation. An accidental discovery I discovered this ritual by accident one morning nearly a decade ago. This habit of creation. This routine is a safe place. It is not an answer to this disease.
In just two generations it has increased by 1,000%.
It’s killing our best and brightest.
Our most creative and beautiful souls.
Often it goes unseen.
Undetected.
Until it’s too late.
It doesn’t discriminate.
You may be a teenager, entrepreneur or a mum or a dad.
It strikes the rich and famous.
The gifted.
This disease can come and go.
Rises and falls.
Some people think they have conquered it.

I’m now looking for answers.
