Through this blog, I wed you to my local cause.

Once upon a time in a suburb of Washington D.C. there lived an extremely moody woman, her husband, their two sons and some dogs.

The woman decided to open another blog because the world needs more of these things.

This particular blog supports a favorite local cause, the Depression Bipolar Support Alliance of the National Capital Area. DBSA NCA meets at George Washington University and at St. Raphael’s Church to offer support for people with mood disorders as well as friends and family of people with mood disorders.

DBSA-NCA sponsors a speaker series at George Washington University that is free and open to the public featuring luminaries such as Dr. Fred Goodwin, author of Manic-Depressive Illness: Bipolar Disorder and Recurring Depression, host of The Infinite Mind radio program, former director of NIMH, professor at George Washington University medical school and Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison, author of An Unquiet Mind, Touched with Fire, Manic-Depressive Illness: Bipolar Disorder and Recurring Depression, professor at Johns Hopkins medical school.

For more information about the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance, please see the main DBSA-NCA website and the national DBSA website.

By making online purchases from the merchants listed at right, you help me earn money for the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance of the National Capital Area . Prices are the same here as at the stores. The difference is that here in this blog, I earn a commission from your purchases all of which I donate directly to my local cause, DBSA-NCA.

Does that explain what I’m doing here?

All the best, Moira
