Driving around today while I did errands, much like I always do, I saw a number of people standing on different corners, with makeshift signs, looking for money or other types of resources. I tend to be a giver toward specific programs, unless God urges me to give to a specific person at that moment. … Continue reading Food for Thought
People tend to generalize where they live with respect to the weather. I live in a part of the country where it is known to be rainy and damp a lot of the time. San Francisco's weather is known for being foggy and changeable. Phoenix is pretty much just hot, and the south is humid. … Continue reading Masking Lovliness
I had a number of different topics rolling around in my head to write about. Our journey in recovery is like a new chapter is revealed every single day; it’s never the same old, same old, for certain! But something is standing out today, and that is our communal responsibility to others. When we take … Continue reading The Social Contract of Recovery
I really dislike buzz words. I try and avoid them, but my blog is probably full of them, simply because recovery itself has become a buzz word. Google buzzword, and you will get “a word or phrase, often an item of jargon, that is fashionable at a particular time or in a particular context”. A … Continue reading Loving ourselves so we can love others.
I am finally getting a little down-time. Just time away from everyday routines and demands. And don't get me wrong, I have a pretty good life, all things considered, in that I am not actively raising small people and there is no one solely dependent on me for survival. But almost everyone can relate to the … Continue reading Rooting out Evil…
Today went by in a whirl. It seemed that no sooner had my feet hit the carpet under my bed, that I was off and running. One appointment or errand after another, and I still didn't accomplish all that I had hoped to when the day began. However, I did get to visit with my … Continue reading A Fresh Word…
It's still pretty chilly out, and I continue to rotate through my outerwear so as to not become completely bored wearing the same coat over and over. But sometimes I just grab whatever is closest and run out the door, because likely I am running late. I have been trying to go through and review … Continue reading Stay Tuned…
Today was rainy and sunny, from moment to moment, prompting me to run out and purchase a new rain shell to wear as my current jacket is a little on the heavy side for most days of 5o's and raining. It's what I have been eyeing for some time, and it serves a practical purpose. … Continue reading Spread the Love 💕💗
Snow, rain, wet, cold. It's been a bit gunky, for sure. The weather seems to be having a bit of a trouble deciding what it wants to do. It's ok, I'll just stay inside and watch the endless changes. Got to go to a luncheon the other day and heard a lot of great speakers … Continue reading Willing Encouragement
So today was another sunny day. I am totally getting spoiled this year. We have really dodged the "gray bullet" that is, the endless days of 40's and drizzling that seem to be the signal that fall, winter and spring have arrived. Summer begins in mid-July and lasts about 2-4 weeks (ba-dum-pah). This is otherwise … Continue reading Apathy unmasked…
