Hello…
Thank you Anthony for gifting me with a lovely Moleskin journal Christmas 2020. Prior to unwrapping it, I had stated too many times to count that “I don’t enjoy journaling.” I was, as I often am, quite adamant about it. Unknown to me were the beauty and opportunities those blank pages would hold. I began writing in January of 2021 and have not looked back.
Thank you Casey-Lee for your skills, patience and love in setting up the “blog” for your blog-challenged mom! You are respected, loved and appreciated.
Thank you Francesco…down in the trenches, by my side; in it to win it!
Another thank you is due: Paula. For your encouragement, faith … confidences held and shared. You played a vital role in this first step towards “blogging,” assuring me I just may have something to share with others.
I am also a Gratitude List advocate. I began a consistent practice in 2019. There will be pages shared from these lists as well.
The motivation for all of this is to share Recovery. Life. Same/same. Faith. Experiences of a Spirit living inside a human body. Maybe help someone identify with their humanity in sharing my own.
Lots of folks are in and around my writing. At times I willI use their initials or “____” in the spirit of anonymity.
BE ADVISED: I have a deep faith in a “Higher Power.” I also have a deep respect for the beliefs of others. I do not promote or proselytize. I simply can attest to the doors blowing open on levels I didn’t even know existed when I found mine. The doors still come. They still get blown open every now and again it what many might call a “spiritual awakening.”
My advice: Get one. The journey will be anything but boring.
