Live and Let Live A good reminder for me. I started on the journey to get a life back that had fullness, happiness, hope and serenity. I worked very hard at that process, have had a spiritual awakening, and benefited from the advice of professionals and peers who had walked before me. I wanted what I perceived many to have, a life filled with hope and serenity. A life in which I found my purpose; a life with purpose. My higher power has been very good to me, I am blessed. I am well... Read More
Ironic-A Thing on Friends/the Iron Lung I was talking yesterday with a mentee who was fresh off just another “binge”. He had an aha moment.

The world changes. Life moves on. There are always new things to do... Read More
Self-Reflection -we all need it So far, it’s been a really interesting day. Things are now quiet, and I am reflecting on a few things that have happened lately. In response to one of my journals, I got some very constructive feed back on content and approach, and some constructive feedback on my web site which I can incorporate to make it more helpful, and to hopefully increase the amount of work I am doing. This morning, I had the opportunity to work with two very different contacts. O... Read More
