Going alcohol free wasn’t as easy as it might of looked
* Please understand I am a binge drinker and can’t handle just having one. It just doesn’t work for me, but I am by no means judging others who can partake. I’m not looking for any type of “good job Dwight”. I’m just hoping this helps someone who is on this journey. It’s not easy.…

Taking a break
Just wanted to let you know I’m going to be off WordPress for a bit. I need to take a mental health break and try to flush out the current state of my monkey mind. So reconnecting to my soul is in order which means getting quiet, meditating, and who knows what else. This happens…

Out East visiting family
Hello all. I’m visiting my mom, brother, and sister. We’re having a great time! My brother took us on a drive called Skyline drive in Virginia. Just some incredible beautiful country.

Paused
Words are hard to find you see, so not many comments from me. A tornado of thoughts though, and a way I fly. There must be a reason, at least I believe so. A hand holds us down bringing us to our knees. Be still and sit in the corner to think of our…

How often have we …
How often have we reached upward and fallen? We may get discouraged and say things never workout for me. I’m always going to get it wrong. Instead step back and look at our great elder trees.

Hello Friends

One main thing I learned is…
