Awareness…Now what? 6/27

I received a question from my fellow blogger friend Janine the other day and it prompted a post. Her question was: “Do you think people change if they can/do reflect on their behavior? If they have self awareness?” In my experience yes…self awareness is the beginning. But then what? When I was in active addiction

I caught myself 6/26

This week a potential job opportunity has been presented to me. It is in the field of recovery and so much more. It sounds very beautiful and very promising. It is full of hope and vision. However, I witnessed my brain start to become very self centered. I was seeking what this opportunity meant for

People do change 6/25

I am challenging the old adage “a leopard can’t change his spots.” A miracle is defined as a change in perception. Wayne Dyer stated : “When you change the way you look at things….the things you look at change.” Recovery produces these changes. I have seen the near dead come back to life. I have

To identify and not compare 6/24

This is a concept that I was first introduced to in recovery. I was taught when someone was sharing their thoughts and feelings at a meeting to “identify” with the speaker and not “compare” myself to them. Coming into the rooms of recovery there is every walk of life imaginable. Much to my surprise there

He never said a word 6/23

Since the passing of my cat Pickles I have been in some type of contemplative fog. My ego wants to put everything in a box, label it and tuck it away. It tries to make sense of it all. My spirit is in wonderment and appreciation. Allowing for the unlimited to be. I took an

What does addiction have to do with it? 6/21

The other day I received a comment on a post that got me thinking. The person was wondering what addiction had to do with the topic that I had posted about. Such a good comment because it made me realize not everybody knows. Not everybody knows that EVERYTHING that I encounter in this life, every

A double whammy 6/21

My cat Pickles was put to rest in our home yesterday morning. The woman who came and helped was amazing. Pickles was amazing during the process and I was able to connect with the beauty of it all. Thank you to everyone who reached out with your loving and kind words. I appreciate it so

Today 6/20

This will post on Monday 6/20. The Veterinarian is scheduled to come put my beautiful handsome cat Pickles to rest today at 11:30am. I will be quiet today. I will be open to all of the spirits who will receive this wonderful soul. I have to say that I am more than grateful to be

I snapped 6/19

I snapped, I lost it…but I believe I was meant to. Last night after a long day I was trying to rest on the couch with my cat Pickles who is actively dying of cancer. Something came over me. It was a force of energy that I could not ignore. It was painful and it

24 hours 6/18

So much can happen in a day. Yesterday….I had inner turmoil and irritation. And I know when I feel that way a shit storm can be approaching if I don’t right myself. Re-phrase that…if I don’t get right with god. So when I got up this morning…”I surrender all” was my morning mentality. And thank
