The gifts of the Program

It is my nightmare to speak at open meetings. I actually avoid certain meetings where I know I will be asked. I blank-out fully, I have zero confidence that I will say anything useful, and I have had such long moments of starting ahead, not saying anything, as though paralyzed, that I have once been told from the audience that it's okay (from an Al-Anon, at that), and twice been told (nicely) to just sit down. One of those times, the person even did the hand swipe across the neck gesture. I laugh about it today. This is what we do in the fellowship, we laugh at these unfortunate situations :) But I can write, so I like to talk about the things that I just can't seem to in front of a room full of people (the Internet gives us all false courage - similar to road rage :)). So here goes. Because of A.A., I have friends (even though we come in with very poor mental health, and our bonds are contingent on sobriety and working the program, which sadly, is not often the case...

Happy New Year (It's a Jubilee Year)

I was speaking with a friend who is returning to their art of painting, and as they shared some of their pieces with me, I recognized it as abstract art. It caused me to think of this blog, where a lot of the images on this site are from searching for abstract art, and I realized that I have really left this blog, and therefore a huge and meaningful section of my work, hanging. When I moved to a new website, I did link it in my last blog post here, but for financial reasons, I shut that site down, so that link is no longer working, and hasn't been for well over a year. I have also now entirely removed that link from the post. As such, I wanted to link my Substack to this site, to help people find my newer work. Check out my newer writing on my Substack .

Come Meet Me Over Here

Greetings my wonderful readers! This marks the end of the activity on this blog. I am inexplicably grateful and amazed at the work I did on this site. Publishing this last post in January 2022, makes it a near perfect 10 years from my first post in January 2011. There are over 500 posts on this site, all chronicling my spiritual, and as of the past year and a bit, wellness journey. I have absolutely treasured this blog. In its early years, I would post and edit articles for days afterward. This blog was just a couple of months old when I showed it to a business owner and got an admin job based almost solely on my writing skills. Sadly that job didn't work out, but what does remain is the beautiful memory of an executive being deeply moved and appreciative of my writing abilities. I am amazed at the commitment I showed to this blog, and so grateful for the natural ending of it. I know I tried to close this blog last December, which would have also been acceptable in my mind, ...
