•New candles. Self care is important and sometimes self care looks a lot like new candles from Target.
•Freshly vacuumed rugs.
•My ideas about what constitutes a “good life” are growing and changing.
•When I focus my ambition inward it becomes the stimulating push I need to keep growing, evolving, and awakening to my full potential.
•Hearing other people talk about their struggles with spirituality and realizing how massive a transformation my thinking has undergone.
•I’ve gone 9 months without missing a meditation. It’s become as automatic as breathing.
•The way Barkley looks at me, smiles, and prances when I take him for walks.
•I honestly can’t remember the last time going to a meeting felt like a chore. It’s felt like home for so long now and I’m so grateful for that.
•Mom. One year ago today she took me to detox. I didn’t know it at the time but that was the start of a whole new way of life for me.
•The opportunity to share my experience, strength, and hope at that same detox tonight.
God, thank you for my life.
