Nothing but "alive" about you Kate. I enjoy seeing your tweets all the time.

Safe to say that being "different" applies to soooo many conditions/frames of mind. Frankly I prefer being different--always was that rebel child. :-) I am sitting here mentally applauding you for being you.

Best for Thanksgiving.

Thank you for this app. It really helped when I was having a real dark day- it's a great way of having the book close by. I think number 102 should be added- play with the app and think about all the things you could be doing :) This worked to keep me safe and well, when my mind was screaming out.

Thank you again Auntie Kate for being there!

Mwah!

I have my iPhone and I like the app on it. Also I will try to have that book that will surely be interesting to me and all others. I'm just new to your site and I like what you have here.

There are lots of apps which exist nowadays but I prefer to choose only those which are the best. I don't grab the entire app because time will come that my interest on those apps will disappear.

Thank you so much for doing this for Mental Illness fopr teens...What a wonderful tool to have for a teen who is thinking about tossing in the towel. Take the time to download this app if you are a teen with diagnosed mental illness. I think it would also work for adults as a great momentary distraction. Thank you again

I tried to visit the site you have provided. I don't think so if that really works; but at least it features how important iPhone apps. I will be glad if you will show us more of your featured article here in your blog.
