The Mental Health Crisis in Children

The data backs up what I and many others have noticed. Children’s mental health is deteriorating, and screen exposure—particularly from social media—is a leading factor. Here are just a few of the facts:
• Su***de rates for younger teens have increased dramatically: 167% for girls, 91% for boys (in the decade up to 2020).
• Hospitalizations for eating disorders in UK children have increased sixfold.
• Self-harm among teens rose by 500% in the last nine years.
• Myopia (short-sightedness) now affects 1 in 3 children in the UK, and global projections show it could affect 1 billion children by 2050. Excessive screen time and reduced outdoor activity are major causes.

Blue light from screens interferes with developing eyes, disrupts hormones, and damages sleep rhythms—all of which are critical during childhood.

The internet is an incredible tool for learning and connection, but for children, it also comes with serious risks. Social media, gaming, and unrestricted online access can expose kids to cyberbullying, mental health struggles, and online predators. As parents, staying informed and using parental co...

At our shop counter, conversations often stretch far beyond phones and laptops. We’re starting a new series called Conversations at the Counter — reflections born from the everyday exchanges that pass through our front desk.

The first post explores news fasting — what happens when we step away from the nightly news cycle.

Read it here:

At the shop counter, a fiery conversation revealed how news can become a daily drug. This reflection explores news fasting as medicine — and what changes when you step away for seven days.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to drop in with a quick update:

1. We’re still in business. I’m doing my best to help as many people as I can.
2. I’m still recovering from a hip replacement surgery in July 2024. It’s been a challenging journey to say the least.
3. My current availability is limited to about 10–15 hours per week, mostly in the afternoons and evenings (around 3:00–5:30). I can sometimes be flexible after hours if needed.
4. The best way to reach me is by texting my business number: 828-919-9020.

Because my schedule shifts with medical appointments and recovery, I ask that all customers please text me ahead of time before coming by. That way we can make sure the timing works for both of us.

Thanks so much for your patience and support — it means the world to me.

Today, I’m headed to Duke for my two-week follow-up with the surgeon for my hip replacement infection. It’s been 13 days since my second hip surgery on 8/30, where they cleaned out an infection from the original hip replacement on 7/24. The past two weeks have been slow and steady. I went into s...

This PlayStation 5 came to us after a lighting storm took it out! It was the newer slim model and the power supply wasn't available within the US.

So we ordered it from China, once it arrived, the PlayStation was brought back to life!
