Bio
I love learning, experiencing new places & connecting with others. At any given time you may find me wandering in nature, talking to my dogs or singing to myself. I am particularly skilled at being ridiculous and embracing silliness.

"Journalling," he said, as he slapped a little black book down in front of me, "Add this to the tools in your arsenal." We'd been given a lot of tools in rehab, but I wasn't clear on how to use them. First, there was prayer - I wasn't sure I believed in it. Next came meditation - my thoughts were panicked and racing. Asking me to sit still and stop thinking was surely an impossible punishment. Another was exercise - every inch of my body ached from withdrawal. I couldn't even fathom joining those fun-loving cross-fit freaks. "You're going to journal each morning and each night." and with that, group therapy was dismissed.
