BALANCE-HAVE YOU GOT IT? From post at www.hopeserenity.ca       I got up early this morning, and while taking my quiet time, the word BALANCE kept playing through my head. I have the privledge of coaching several people and helping them to articulate and move towards goals in various parts of their lives. As well, I do a fair bit of "service" work as a part of my own journey. People with divergent needs, but a common issue-LIFE BALANCE. I can remember when my journey be... Read More

Gratitude-A Reminder   Last night I was a t a meeting, and old timers were welcomed. A couple of people glanced my way, and I guess it a fitting title in that fellowship. I should be grateful. I was there again, and free from addictions. Over the last period of time, we have had some major employment changes, family disappointments and have made a decision to relocate to a new area about an hour away. With all the change that has taken place, I can get down and worried and put stress... Read More
