From Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

Time goes by so fast. Nothing can outrun it. Death commences too early-- almost before you're half acquainted with life, you meet the other.

Big Mama finally acknowledges Big Daddy is dying:

Endorsements for my new book: Don't Ever Stop Believing...

One of the more difficult tasks for clinicians is to convey intricate therapeutic concepts in easily accepted and understood terms. Dr. Doyle is a master at this type of communication. Using personal stories, poetry, prose, and lyrics completely disarms the skeptic and allows one to grow effortlessly. Should be read by clinicians and clients who wish to understand that voice inside their heads that holds us back from realizing our dreams.
Doug Ginn, Exec. Vice President Strategic Behavioral Health

Broken, shattered dreams: we’ve all had them. Sadly, most of the self-help books in print do very little to change that harsh reality. Fortunately, Dr. Doyle newest gift to humanity, resurrects some of those beautiful, life changing dreams. He’s courageous enough to open up both himself and his family to us, giving the reader a warm and personal road-map on how to handle the storms of life. John Kent, Oral Surgeon

This book IS for you…and for me…and for my children, grandchildren, family and friends. Actually this book is for all who seek hope and joy in living each day. Coupled with personal and professional stories and practical methods, Dr. Don Doyle touches my heart and changes my life. Dr. Doyle gives concrete ways to recover our dreams and seize the day in a hopeful and positive way for the present and future, it’s a MUST read.
Rev. Martha Bowen Wagley, Pastor Emerita Memphis First Church
This book provides for great insight to those of us looking for the common sense answers. Dr. Doyle’s use of personal stories helps in the digesting of sometimes difficult topics and areas of our lives. He does an outstanding job at getting to the heart of the issues without beating yourself up over them. It’s one of the finest I’ve read in dealing with life issues head on.
Jim Shaheen, President Strategic Behavioral Health

“No matter where one is in life, we must keep growing. Don Doyle helps us understand that no matter how difficult or wonderful our experiences have been in the past, there are many great ones ahead for those who will trust and believe.”
Brad Martin, Former CEO Saks 5th Avenue

Another Quote From Cat On a Hot Tin Roof

What's that smell in this room? Didn't you notice it Brick? Didn't you notice the powerful and obnoxious odor of mendacity in this room? There ain't nothing more powerful than the odor of mendacity. You can smell it. It smells like death.

Big Daddy (Burl Ives) to Brick (Paul Newman)

Watched Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (again) Many quotes to follow

Depression/Sadness

Depression is when nothing matters. Sadness is when everything matters.

THE COLOR PURPLE

Introducing herself, she said, "I grew up in the color purple." She went on to explain that she had survived her childhood in a terrible ghetto in Mississippi and had scratched and clawed her way to a high ranking position as a military chaplain.

With advanced degrees in theology, psychology, and personnel management she had a very impressive resume. But she was not happy which is a gross understatement. Truth be told, she had been depressed all her adult life.

Later in an intensive therapy session, she cried out in deep despair, "Grandmama you told me with a good education, I could leave the ghetto behind. Grandmama, you were wrong. I got the good education but the ghetto is still living inside me." And that was the beginning of her journey toward wholeness.

When will we ever learn? You can never get enough of what you don't need. You can't fix internal problems with external solutions. She couldn't, neither can you. Neither can I. But if you're willing to pay the price, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, you can heal.

Excerpt From My New Book

What you’re about to read has been filtered through the crucible of my own life and living. It is my hope that you will read these words while fantasizing that we are having a conversation sitting in a roomful of people sharing our stories, and this one is mine. You will read the word dreams numerous times. Obviously, not by accident because I believe dreams are what life is all about. Yep, I’m a dreamer at heart. Always have been, always will be. So, beware you’re about to read some confessional conversational writing about dreams.

Don't Ever Stop Believing... The Best is Yet to Come

To Be Released in early July.

Adult Heroes?

One of my adult heroes died today-- Dr. Jack Kevorkian-- a man who went to prison for his convictions which was to relieve human suffering. Dr. Kevorkian was a highly misunderstood and maligned physician who was the butt of numerous comedic jokes as well as tabloid news. I highly recommend the made for television movie starring Al Pacino"You Don't Know Jack." Rest in peace Dr. K.
