Suffering unbelievable losses, Mary went from being on top of the world to wanting to leave the world.

              <title>December 13, 2011 - Michael Merritt "Being the Christ of Today"</title>
              <description>Our guest on this edition of Simple Steps, Real Change is Michael Merritt, author of  Being the Christ of Today: 7 Ways to Transform your Life and Heal the World. Michael talks about how, to him, Christ means "light," and that we all have the ability to be the light in life.  Michael once lived in a state despair... believing that he was not worthy of love.  Homeless, ridiculed, and gay, he felt punished by God. He came to realize that he was a perfect being, in God&#039;s image, and that God is love.  As an ER nurse, Michael works in a stressful environment. But he stays out of the Tornado of Negativity by working in it, yet not being part of it, a concept that helps in dealing with the negativity that sometimes surrounds us.  Michael answers listener&#039;s questions about dealing with the decisions of others and how to break out a rut, and to live a life of more than just existence.  Michael&#039;s life, and inspiring approach to life, is one that you won&#039;t want to miss!   </description>

Hear about how to overcome fear, deal the little person sitting on your shoulder telling you that you "can&#039;t" and how self care is key to your own mental health. </description>
