I am not a professional in any capacity, let's be clear about that.  Showing kindness and practicing gratitude are my jam!  I intend to offer support to folks who feel alone in their journey by using my lived life experiences, current affairs in my day to day, and ambitious aspirations moving forward now that I've discovered sobriety after more than 20 years of reckless decision making and substance abuse.  I've navigated some pretty nasty and lonely situations (not always with a fraction of the grace I'd like to think I'm developing these days!)  I'm going to live with transparency after hiding so much of myself for so long.  It will be deeply personal and WAY outside of my (dis)comfort zone, but my hope is to make some medicine from the poison I've been brewing for well over two decades.  Join me in my journey to healing and hopefully I can offer insight that will add to yours!
