Creating Recovery

The journey begins each day anew.

May yours be joyful,

engaging,

infused with light.

Rise gently. Go softly.

Recovering is a journey of reclaiming ourselves and our place in the world. Rarely is it made in straight lines. Thankfully, recovery is also a creative process. So, no matter how far down the road you travel, there is hope, because you are a creative being. I wish for you to know that, and to remember:

You are a valued member of an extraordinary group of beings.

Your experience is priceless.

Your gifts are needed.

Rise gently, with dignity and compassion.

Go softly, mindfully, through the shadows.

One moment, one day at a time, create recovery,

come into your own,

and be you.

Pass it on.

I am among the softest of the soft, the strongest of the strong. My life bends with the winds of change, but I shall endure. I am nothing short of an inspiration.
