This quote by Eckhart Tolle is perfect! It perfectly describes my awakening. It’s what I have blogged about for almost a year. The suffering we endure is not in vain. It has a purpose if we can only believe that through our suffering. I’ve had 2 very intimate and up-close conversations lately with a coupleContinue reading “The Process of Awakening”

Sometime last year I wanted to do something, something a little risky for my recovery. I knew it but I needed a confirmation from my shrink. When I asked her for her advice she said, “You know the risk of choosing this.” Those words stay with me every day. What am I risking if IContinue reading “The Value of Recovery”

While in Dallas I went to my online church in person and heard from T.D. Jakes son n law Toure Roberts. His message was called “Hidden Glory”. There were so many great nuggets in his message that I do not have enough space to highlight them all but I want to pass this part toContinue reading “The Process of Overcoming”

It is mind-blowing what she survived. I cannot wait to read her story. Viola said so much that resonated with me. She said Happiness is aContinue reading “Happiness is a Journey”

We must be careful not to burn bridges, especially those we have to cross back over to get where we need to go.

Have you ever been around someone who makes you question your reality? Do you find yourself questioning yourself? What did you hear, what did you see, what did you feel? If you say “yes” to any of these you may be a victim of gaslighting. Gaslighting makes you question your reality. The objective of gettingContinue reading “Are you a Gaslighting Victim?”

The worst pain I’ve ever felt is the pain of false intimacy. Believing someone loves you and is loyal to you but then betrays you is game-changing pain. It will make you build walls and never trust again. I’ve learned betrayal happens for many reasons. It happens for resentment, greed, anger and it sometimes happensContinue reading “Underneath Betrayal”

Judging is so easy to do. But what happens when we judge a book by its cover and it backfires on us? We can miss opportunities. Maybe that’s why we shouldn’t judge.
