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.

sunflower

Today there is one lone sunflower blooming atop a six foot plant in my back yard. In the spring I threw a package of sunflower seeds into a planter. The irrigation system in the yard is programmed for desert planting so these seeds have not received much water. But now, probably 3 months later, several seeds have germinated and are loaded with sunflower buds.

It really is a miracle. From this one package of seeds---without any tending at all---comes these healthy, vigorous plants. When they all bloom it will be such a show. I understand why successful gardeners tend their plants so lovingly.

It's good to stop and watch these miracles. I remember a young man who so lovingly talked of the miracle of watching his infant daughter grow. He simply was overwhelmed of the miracle of it all.

Can you stop today and be amazed at one miracle around you?  your child? a flower? the huge moon?
Where did that miracle come from?
