Recovery and Healing
May we all recover our true selves. That is a healing that is also deeply connected to each one of us and that of the world as well.
Aren't we all in various stages of personal recovery from the challenges of the world? I know I am. To honor my soul’s call, to trust in the universe and a Spirit beyond myself also known as God is a daily work and it is a gift to be able to do it.

For some of us, recovery means freeing ourselves of addictions or abuse or from families in a world of dysfunction. Some, like me, have been guided to therapy, meditation and spiritual groups or 12 step programs. In seeking and nurturing our own wholeness, we also serve the world, for we then allow and can help others to become whole.
Life is Amazing
I don't think any one of us has a boring story. Mine is as challenging and amazing as any, and I share it to share hope. Healing comes bit by bit, prayer to prayer, gratitude to gratitude, one day at a time. Some of us have also needed twelve step recovery programs to learn that. One Day at a Time each small step adds up.

Family Issues
Even with family issues and abuse,which I know now are hardly that uncommon, I'm blessed in
being able to tell my story without people running away. (Some do run away, but that's O.K. Its what they need to do right now.) At long last in the world, there are those who stay to listen to and honor our heartfelt, often painful tales. I thank the Higher Power for my brothers and sisters who know me and love me just as I am, and who support our movement in the world to heal into what is true and what is better for all of those around us.

Families of Dysfunction -- Effects and Traits
It helps to understand that these traits are a description of common issues, not a life- sentence! Often we must see what it is that needs to heal before we can heal. Knowing is the first step in changing. This video recounts some of the effects and traits bred in families of dysfunction. Called the "Laundry List" in some circles, it shows the areas of difficulty that may need attention to be healed.

Truthfulness is the foundation of all healing. Recognizing where we're at is the first step to changing and to loving ourselves right where we're at.
We in recovery also can connect our struggle with the larger struggle of the world to free itself of dysfunction and dis- ease. The planetary need is great. "There is no time to rest until our world achieves wholeness and balance…" -- Leymah Gbowee
