“Goals are like a magnet — they pull. And the stronger they are, the more purposeful they are, the bigger they are, the more unique they are, the stronger they pull.” Jim Rohn
Hi Everyone, As it’s the fifth Monday of the month today, I always mix things up a bit. We’ll be back next week with your list of upcoming grant deadlines.
Today I want to write to you about keeping your chin up. January can be hard sometimes.
In Canada we’re dealing with darker and colder days.
Growing your business is never easy.
Getting out for exercise can be more challenging than in summer.
Not to get too morbid this week, but I’ve started carefully reading the obituaries of “younger people” that are shared on my personal Facebook page.
While obituaries usually never say why a person has died, they do leave clues.
I’ve noticed this clause in two recent posts: “Instead of flowers, families are encouraging donations to the Canadian Mental Health Association.”
It’s sad.
All I can seem to say is “Sorry for your loss.”
Except today.
My email list is received by several intelligent people.
Many of you have found grants in my newsletter and won them. Well done.
I’m going to list a few grants for mental health below.If you know an organization in the mental health space, can you please share it with them?
Maybe you or a business you know can partner with them on a grant.
Finally, a quick word to any reader struggling right now with mental health.
While I’m certainly no doctor nor psychologist, I do want to encourage you to have a mission in your life. Be sure to have a reason for “getting up in the morning.” We all need that. And know that your family, friends, and even this blogger is cheering you on.
If you need immediate care, please call the fine folks at Momentum Counselling. Grants for mental health:
