I was a little delayed in posting this one, but Saturday was a great event and proved to be an emotional talk once again. It never ceases to amaze me how many people have or are touched by bipolar disorder, either in their family or someone close to them. The audience was again wonderful and the question and answer session was one of the best yet. I appreciated so many people coming down to listen, especially on such a nice, sunny, Saturday morning. Dennis Uhlig of Fireside Books did a really nice opening introduction on the book and I am very grateful for all he did to set up the book signing. Sometimes it is just surprising how you can have a rough week and then turn around and give a positive, motivational speech to a group of people. Just showing me once again that when you forget about what is troubling and focus on others, it puts you in a better place. The talk went so well, that Fireside and I worked out an arrangement to come back for another talk on Saturday, November 11th, this fall. I am really excited and we're hoping to have many more people to join us this next time. Thank you again to everyone who came out to listen and to Fireside Books for being such a great host.
"Matthew's visit to Fireside Books was a wonderful and very educational experience. Matthew is a great example of what can be done if one keeps a positive attitude and decides to never give up! His presentation was emotional and informative. Many of those who attended asked to have Matthew return so they could invite others to hear him speak. We really appreciated having him!"
