Sharing my experience, strength and hope. Sober for 40 years. Also I love to decorate and find joy and laughter whenever possible! I strive every day to be a good mom. ❤️ #sobriety #recovery

Feeling the fears of my life, whatever that looks like on any given day, allows me to experience my life, as it is, freely. Thereby, hopefully I can be an agent of Love and change in my own little corner of the world. So I stop, as often as I can. ❤️
Been thinking about how so much transformation happens when things in my life hit bottom. How my desire to control led to powerlessness. Accepting how little control I have led to my freedom and power over what I can change and trust that in the end, it’s all for the good.

Oliver is my rock, my best friend and teaches me daily how to respect by seeing things from his point of view. ❤️🐕‍🦺

I quite often feel overwhelmed by the magnitude of insensitivity toward those that are marginalized. I don’t want that to stop me from doing what I can. So, for me, this is very doable.

Remembering the beauty of Washington state. 💓

I’ve been thinking about how important it is to see the beauty in each other and take opportunities to connect. Even if we don’t agree on important issues. If for nothing else than to understand what we are fighting for. ❤️❤️

I’ve been thinking about the word woke and how Carl Young commented on its importance. “ Until we make the unconscious conscious, it will dictate our life and we will call it fate”. The security we look for, in my experience, comes from that process.

I’ve struggled with co/dependency and these are my thoughts on the topic. Attempting to control others is disrespectful because it’s an attempt to dominate while trying to rob them of their agency. Even if you do it nicely 🤦🏼‍♀️

A thought. Relentlessly justifying lying to gain control and power has to come at a great cost to your soul.

Tragic day. Sending love and light to all who lost their loved ones in the plane/helicopter crash today. 💔
