A Big Relationship to the world

I have a big vision for myself and my relationship to the world. I’m making big splashes more and more—I got invited to speak in front of some folks about peer services and my book in January. That’s just the beginning of this book promo speaking engagements, guesting on podcasts and TV shows, and more. You can say accurately that I am going to “go for it.”

My heart beats a lot to inspire others, in walking alongside them in their healing process. My telling of my addiction story’s main purpose is to help others know that they are not alone. To show people that my life is testimony of the Goodness of God; that He loved me so much to have pulled me from the darkness, from the pit of despair that is active addiction. I want others to know that if that could have happened to me, then it can happen to you. As one of my sponsors says, “Wherever there is life, there is hope.”

I’m going to put together retreats, conferences. I’m going to key note. Oh and a TED TALK or two. All on my radar. All on the horizon. I can just feel it. I’m excited, nervous—but not so much scared anymore. God has removed most of my fear. I used to live in it. Drowned in fear. Not anymore. I am courageously and boldly stepping into who God created me to be.

I’m going to be published soon! My book will be my bridge to full time entrepreneurship! I’m really getting the good word out. Talking about my book with practically everyone I meet. I have a lot of book sales already from doing this. I’m just thrilled to the max. A life-long dream is manifesting by the grace of God.

I know that the more focused on expanding my horizons and connecting more with others, my self-care has to be amped up too. I have has a lot of practice with taking good care of myself from working in the psychology field for the past five years. I have a lot in my tool box, in my back pocket of ways to feel, to positively distract, to decompress, relax, and connect with the peace of The Lord.

My cat helps me too. I believe that all pets are emotional support. I love them so much.

Help me in praying for those suffering in the world. I can’t watch the news. I’m a visual person and the imagery sizzles in my brain. It’s too much. As self-care, I have to sustain a media diet. I get one small newsfeed in the form of a daily email with short summaries. No graphic sensationalism. Just the facts, madam. Thanks.

I need to rest now. Recouping from major surgery—three weeks out and that by Jesus’s stripes, I am healed. Need to do a 10th Step, pray and hit the sack. Good night.
