  • Television



    New shows I'm enjoying this season: True Blood - vampires, shiftshapers and other creatures in the Deep South! What more could you ask for?, Fringe (FOX) - paranormal events, My Own Worst Enemy (NBC) - awesomeness to the third degree and with Christian Slater, The Mentalist (CBS)- a serious Psych that stars the beautiful blond, Simon Baker, Life on Mars (ABC)- parallel worlds back to 1973. Far Out! Leverage (TNT) - ex-cons getting revenge on the evil companies, and I get to watch sexy Christian Kane on a weekly basis too. I also enjoyed The Ex-List, but CBS cancelled it late October. Maybe Lifetime will pick it up. Own Worst Enemy was cancelled in late November by NBC.

    Currently on the air: Prison Break, Supernatural, Death Note (anime), 24, One Tree Hill, Scrubs, Criminal Minds, The Unit, Dexter, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Kings, Hell Girl (anime), The Closer, House, Law & Order SUV, Bleach (anime), The Amazing Race, Bones, Family Guy, Numb3rs, Ghost Whisperer, Medium, The Simpsons, Inyasha, most VH-1 reality shows, Survivor, Full Metal Alchemist, Nip/Tuck, Big Brother, Baseball Tonight, CSI: Las Vegas, NY and Miami, ESPN Sports, Smallville, Cartoon Network's Adult Swim and many, many more. Yes, I'm a TV junkie.

  • Books





    "A room without books is like a body without a soul."
    -- Marcus Tullius Cicero

    My favorite author is Emile Zola. No one compares to him. I’ve collected most of his THE ROUGON-MACQUART series – I started back in 1996 and have 18 of the novels so far. I'm having trouble locating the rest. Coming in at a close second is Gabriel Garcia Marquez. ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE and LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA blew me away. He’s an amazing storyteller. Other favorite authors include Guy de Maupassant, Ray Bradbury, Stephen King, John Steinbeck and Dean Knootz. My favorite novel is THE STAND by Stephen King (the uncut version). Other unforgettable books are PERFUME (The Story of a Murderer) by Patrick Süskind, and THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES by Ray Bradbury.

    I also enjoy reading manga (Japanese comics). My favorite genres are psychological, horror, action-adventure, sci-fi, fantasy, vampires, mystery, supernatural, drama, adventure, and stories with cute stuffed animals (like Bleach).

  • Heroes



    Jesus, Grandma Mamie, Emile Zola, Dave Williams, Rudy Q., Great-Grandmother Hicks, Great-Grandfather Hicks, Jack and Mary Wallace, Robert and John F. Kennedy, Manny Ramirez, my 5th-grade teacher Mrs. Herron, Martin Luther King, Dominique Trieger-Carter, Gandhi, the 2004 & 2007 Boston Red Sox, Vladamir the Sock Monkey, and countless others who have touched my life over the years.

About me:



Hello, my name is Lynne. I created Healthy Minds as a place to help promote well-being, spirituality, positive thinking and inner peace, and to explore the many faces of mental health, substance abuse, addiction and other important social and health issues. I plan to use the blog to share articles, books, interviews, health news, music, psychology, inspirational quotes, alternative medicine, and other topics promoting happiness, health and peace of mind. My hope is for people will ask questions, share our knowledge and stories, understand those in need, and to be caring and supportive of one another. I'd also like it to be a place to network and connect with other caring individuals, mental health counselors, support groups and organizations here in the United States and around the World.

Education Update -- I have only one more class to take in order to get my certificate from the Alcohol and Drug Counseling Program at Santa Barbara City College. I want to work with children, teenagers and adults dealing with mental health problems and/or substance abuse after graduation. There has been a delay because of the CA state budgets cuts in education and other areas. Classes that don't have the required amount of students enrolled (normally 18) are cancelled. ADC classes are never quite filled. The one class I need has been cancelled for 3 semesters in a row. It's been very frustrating. We'll see what the future holds.


I identify with turtles more than any other living creature. I'd die without good literature to read on a regular basis. I'm obsessed with the color purple. I have a huge crush on Manny Ramirez, the baseball god. Tumbleweeds scare me to death. I can't live without coffee.

My hobbies include writing stories, anime, manga, cooking, photography, French literature, collecting rings and bracelets from around the world, birdwatching, watching TV and movies, gardening, studying human nature, making greeting cards and drinking good coffee.

Please feel free to email me with any comments or questions. You can also visit my other page at myspace.com/javaturtle or add me on Facebook.



Who I'd like to meet:


Other like-minded, caring, compassionate, fun loving and creative souls.

    I thought of all the things I wanted for Christmas this year and only one gift really stood out. A gift that will never wear out, break down or get old but one that grows more beautiful every day and one whose worth really cannot be measured except by the heart. This gift is one that never expires but maintains its brilliance day after day, year after year. It has many uses from encouragement and support during the hard times and laughter and smiles during the good times; it's a gift filled with love, appreciation, and care and a gift that forever lives on in one's heart. What is this truly special gift? It is the gift of your friendship that means so much to me and that I am so blessed to be able to receive, one I hold close to my heart because in my life, you, my friend, play such an important part :). Merry Christmas!
