I'd like to meet:

People who are really concerned about others.

Plan your trip Local Radar Detailed Forecast How to Help Mentally Ill Offenders Last year, the NYPD responded to more than 87,000 calls having to do with emotionally disturbed people. Melissa Reuland, senior research associate at the Police Executive Research Forum, Louise Pyers, executive director of the Connecticut Alliance to Benefit Law Enforcement (CABLE), and NYPD spokesperson Paul Browne weigh in on how the NYPD polices the mentally ill and how they might do a better job.Read City Limits: "Debating How to Police a Challenging Population" The Criminal Justice - Mental Health Consensus Project
Things aren't always what they look like. Today is the tomorrow you were waiting for yesterday. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Plan your work and work your plan. Happiness is the way! Succes is a journey, not a destination. Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off the road. There is always an opportunity in any disaster. The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still voice within. We must be the change we wish to see. ..
