A woman's path to sustained recovery

Though the process of recovery is never easy, some women seem to move through the journey with less pain than others. Why? What makes the difference? Here we will talk about how that happens for each of us. We will talk about how women heal in mutually empowering realtionships with themselves, with others and with God.

colors in life

I recently read an article about Elizabeth Warren, the administration's person appointed to clean up some of the nations's finanacial mess. She is an incredibly accomplished woman who was a Harvard Law Professor until her Washington appointment.At the close of the article there was a paragraph in which she talked about splurging on a pair of shoes. She was quoted as saying, "I want to live my life with color...people who can't enjoy their money are missing the colors of life."

I'd like to amend that a bit. People who can't enjoy their recovery are missing the colors of life. If you are sober and clean and saving some money, splurge a little! Treat yourself to something special---a new sweater, a new hairdo, a pair of shoes. Live your new life this new year with color!!

Happy New Year!! Penny
