We all get into jumbled messes… in our heads especially. Step 10 (yes I know I talk about this one ALL the time… shushit) tells me that I am to examine MY behavior. Yes – everyday. Yes – I can’t look at you anymore and blame you for my ‘stuff’. That’s all well [...]

perspective
So I’ve been working my ever loving arse off this week, seeing as I’m all bound up (in an abdominal binder post surgery) in the house not able to do much of anything at all. I’ve been utilizing this down time to make a fiscal shift; pretty much Google AdSense isn’t cutting the mustard (or the dough) [...]
stick with the winners?
Who exactly ARE these “winners” that everyone keeps talking about sticking with??? I mean really… how do you know who to talk to or whom you should run the hell away from? People can appear to be anything they choose … at first. Appearances are deceiving and talk is a cheap 10 dollar [...]
your song
A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song. Lou Holtz I came across this quote tonight and it hit me like a brick house. Sometimes we get SO busy trying to do the ‘right’ things and have all the ‘answers’ that we forget. We forget to LIVE [...]
my daily inventory
My head is a liar. Yeah yeah we know. All our heads lie to us. True. But as the Big Book says we ‘learn to differentiate the true from the false’. How? Well by step work of course. Doing daily inventories and all that razamatazz (see your sponsor for further reference i’m sure he/she will [...]

i need a plumber…

Celebrity Addiction: do we care and why?
goodbye Whitney.
I wanna dance with somebody. One moment in time. I will always love you… Yeah. That voice. Those songs. That girl. The girl I grew up listening to, the one that bookmarked first kisses and high school dances and sleepovers and and and… yeah. Beautiful voice and face and could’ve had a beautiful life. [...]
i love recovery?
Upon mentioning to my lil’ ole bloggity blog here to some folks, I’m always asked “Do you really loooooove recovery?” *snicker* Of course this gives folks a reason to tease me; always epic fun. However it brings up a good point. Do I really love recovery and what the hell does that mean anyhow? [...]
serenity… interrupted.
“People recite the first line of the serenity prayer and seem to sometimes forget that there is MORE than the first line.” ~ Kat W. (bff, sponso, and in my heart my sister) We had a conversation yesterday. One of those random stolen moments in the work break room that I treasure so very [...]
