Starting Fresh

So here’s the truth:
I’d like to delete every one of my previous blog posts, to start fresh.
But I can’t. I’m one of those incredible pack-rats, the person who holds on to every single scrap of something because it might be somehow sentimental and I might need it sometime in the future, to remember or to [...]

Forever

I know, it’s been forever.
With so much happening, so many changes, my world spinning and stopping, only to spin again, I am not sure where to begin — how does one transition from then to now in the span of just a few words?

Breathing

Today, I am trying to breath.
I mean, I am breathing, but I am trying to breathe mindfully. That’s what is a challenge for me.
It’s hard to be in a situation where one person is so available, and the other is less available (though she wants to be), and things, plans, ideas keep changing. It’s hard [...]

Willingness

There’s a woman meeting with her sponsor next to me at the Cafe, and it’s interesting to me, never being part of the alcoholism world, because I’m not listening to them, but I keep catching snippets of sentences. “Summertime is a trigger, I need to be honest with my friends, I need to be honest [...]
