I got all my notes together, my script and list to call. I dialed the first number and stared at the phone. Unable to make the call. Then, I made a call and immediately hung up. They called me back – I ignored the call. I couldn’t make myself answer. Terrified. Physically unable to do…
Can y’all believe we are at the holidays already? It seems this year has completely flown by! The more digital our lives become – the quicker time seems to go. While this can be exciting and exhilarating, it can also be overwhelming and even exhausting. As we move into the next few weeks, I wanted…
Hey you! Can I be honest with you? I’m struggling today. And for the last couple days. It’s so interesting because I have basically been elated for weeks with all the traveling, time with friends and personal development activities. But the last few days I have been feeling like “What was I thinking!?”, “Who do…
I have been noticing something as I grow. I have a tendency to scold myself in my head, or to replay the moment where I could have done things better – seemingly in an attempt to punish or reprimand myself. As if I am not already aware that I could have done better. Kind of…
Hey! So – I have been hearing a lot about gratitude lately. I’ve been working to re-implement my habit of writing down the things I am grateful for every day. Gratitude lists are one of the first homework assignments that I received from my sponsor when I got sober. And it works! But, life gets…

Have you ever heard ‘live within your means?’ I used to think that that was to try to encourage me not to overspend, or perhaps not to buy things so that others would be impressed by what I had. While I don’t disagree with either of those definitions, I have now begun to question that…
Imagine looking through the window and seeing me sitting, surrounded by papers, and computers (yup, more than 1), tea cups, water bottles, pens, headphones and crumpled tissues….. staring into space. Can you see it? Now, see me slowly get up, and leave the mess, walk to my bedroom, and lay down on the bed with…
Have you ever noticed how some people seem to be rushing around, always exhausted, and yet they don’t really seem to be accomplishing anything more or getting any further ahead than everyone else? Or how about the ones who say that they really would like to make extra money but just don’t have enough time…
In the year 2020, many begged for time to speed up, to get us in to 2021 and out of the craziness we were living in. It was as if we believed that if the calendar changed – so too would our circumstance. Funny, isn’t it? As if wishing time away could happen, and if…
