The GlassHalfQuestion campaign is in memory of the love of my life, Jill Messick.     Jill was an amazing woman and her battle with the demons of bipolar disorder ultimately led to her tragic end.   Hollywood likes its villains, but the real villain in this case was the scourge of mental health disorders and the lack of understanding we have about these in our society

But this is also an Opportunity for us to explore the question of Balance and Perspective.    At www.glasshalfquestion.com, you can learn more about my efforts to share some important lessons my time with Jill taught me.   

I appreciate your support in this campaign.
