I've been giving something a lot of thought lately, and have decided to share it with you - to influence you (if you're not already) to open up to friendships.

As a "family member" and longtime listener, I was touched by the call from a woman afraid to inform her brother of his positive test results for a devastating disease (Huntington's).

I recently read about a woman who won approximately $70 million after an 8 year battle with a major pharmaceutical company.  She was a "whistle blower" who reported the major drug company to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for atrocious violations which risked lives, and she got fired.
