I had a spiritual experience while I was reading some poetry. I was so moved by it I found myself crying and I wasn’t sure why. I had about 10 months of sobriety at the time and I remember wondering “What is happening here?” I got on my knees by the side of the bed …
When I first met my husband many years ago, he literally planted a seed in my heart that began to grow unbeknownst to me while we were still living 2000 miles apart. In my podcast this week I share this story and how it started us on a journey of faith, hope and trust while we …
Last Friday night our granddaughter Adalie, (5), came for a sleepover. In our backyard, a circle of purple flowers had popped up and we began discussing fairy rings. She did a few twirls in the ring and then made a wish. The following day we proceeded to decorate the fairy ring with all the stone …
Paul and I went clear across the country on the trike in 2017. We spent very little time on the highway. In fact, we took the old Route 66 from Chicago across 8 states, over 2,588 miles and 90% was on backroads. That was only 1/3 of our trip. We stopped at so many cool …
I was around 10 when I first discovered how different my family was. You see I thought everyone’s grandparents were best friends. But I found out my grandparents were unique. You see my father’s parents and my mother’s parents – they were best friends with each other when my parents were still just little kids. When their …
Paul came home with a scooter one day back in 2007. I was a little freaked out. After all, he didn’t even ask me. His only excuse is that he is a “manifester.” He immediately did the right thing. He took me for a ride about 3 miles down the road to a factory parking …
I was looking at my arm the other day. The part of my left arm between the elbow and my wrist. The part that leans on the table when you’re eating or doing a puzzle. I noticed a long white line. A scar was there. I wracked my brain and I couldn’t remember when I …
My guest on the podcast this week was Jesse Harless. We had a great conversation about his story and the announcement of his book which was recently published called “If Not You, Then Who? Harness Your Strengths to Turn From Addiction to Abundance.” I loved this book! And when it comes to the simple everyday tools …
Who are you? I had a transformation in my 20s. I switched from being an addict and an alcoholic into being a personal growth junkie. That’s one way to describe me – among a hundred other ways. On this journey of self-discovery, I studied MBTI in my 30’s (Myers Briggs Type Indicator) and decided I’m and ENFP. Then …
When I first got into recovery I was only 24 years. I remember joining a group therapy program and we spent a lot of time looking back at our childhood. I felt like I had just left there (my childhood) so everything was still fresh in my mind. I took a quick glance (6 months …
