Remember: desperation, driven, to put as much distance between me and the chaos of drinking and early sobriety as possible. It meant divorce in the end...getting a sponsor, doing steps, getting active...finding an anchor in 'power greater than self ', a physical home base- rehabbing a cabin....then later on, sponsoring others...what a gift!

   Finding a new partner in the fellowship; becomming a widow( first husband)...building a homestead, (toward self sufficiency)developing a landscape business-building lots of barns-

trying to adopt, mentoring kids...rescuing animals of every sort and description-

Heartache of foster children and dealing with DSS, court system-letting

go of that dream...trying to find new dreams-alot of prayers about that...

Classes in art and poetry, 3 self published collections, exhibiting some paintings...considering a Masters degree, (too much money-)

Is it balanced ? grief, loss, letting go- recovery, new beginnings-laughter,

trying to give back-

It certainly has been a rollercoaster ride, but I wouldn't trade it for going back out -God Willing, One day at a time...
