The Journey Begins

Thanks for joining me.

These stories are from my life.  None are to whine or place blame or guilt.  Just to share. My hope is that if there is one woman…even if only one…that can relate to my stories and grow in a positive way from my lessons, then I’ve accomplished my goal.

My mantra “Nobody’s Bleeding” came from a new perspective that I developed in 1994 while I was a single mom, going to school full time and working three part time jobs.  But I’ll share that story later.

During my journey, I’ve tried to look at things…tough things…in a way that they become more emotionally palatable…more useful to me in the forward movement of my recovery process.  I’ve tried to take a lesson from each adversity and pack that knowledge into my “tool bag” (sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly) and use it down the road to manage the adversities…adversities many of us encounter…to not only survive, but thrive and grow from each challenge.

I wise woman once told me…”when you’re walking through shit, just keep walking”.  And, so I did.

Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton
