Welcome readers! My name is Ellen Douglas and I have been public speaking for over seven years, focusing on 'quality-of-life' issues.
Through written stories, poetry and suggested readings and music, I am hoping to use this blog as a resource for others and to challenge myself as a writer.
As a public speaker, my subject is often dealing with serious issues such as; Coping with Serious Injury, Quality Living at the End-of-Life, Dealing with Depression and Suicide Prevention and Respecting Our Elders and Celebrating Their Life. However, I try to find ways to connect with people on a comforting level while dealing with issues that concern us all. My goal is to have a good time while encouraging and empowering others. Please read my profile for more details.
Like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, I'm hoping to find a few kindred spirits along the way to help me on this journey called life. Life can be difficult but we need each other to find our way. Please join me on this yellow brick journey!
About Me
- Ellen T Douglas
- My name is Ellen Douglas. I am a boomer who is diving into my 'MID-LIFE AWAKENING'. My goal for this blog is to focus on living a quality filled life - which isn't always easy. Life is difficult. As someone who has dealt with depression, A.D.D., and living with a fragile bone disease (with 15+ broken bones), I understand how living a quality filled life can be a real challenge. But I have been blessed with many opportunities that have enriched my life. I have had many different jobs from being a DJ to working as an Exhibit Manager at a museum. I have also worked with a hospice and video-recorded the lives of many of my patients. I learned a great deal from them and hope to share some of that knowledge with you here. One of my main adventures was a 4000 mile roadtrip I took to interview strangers about contentment. I traveled for 30 days through twelve states and interviewed dozens of people from age 20-92. Again, I hope to share some of that insight here. Join me please. Share your stories and please give me feedback and let's see if we can encourage one another to find ways to live a quality filled life.
