Yesterday, I gave them to a few family members so they could sport their support for my book and our community of healing. I jokingly asked one of my brothers, who is in his 20's, if he would wear the wristband around the university campus he attends.
I only thought he wouldn't want to wear it because it is pink and he is a guy, but the first thing he said was, "No, way. I don't want anyone thinking I take Prozac."
And there it was, the influence of the stigma. I said, "That is exactly the point." In that moment, he realized my mission. Today, he is wearing the wristband and doesn't care who sees.
God is great!
