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.

a little more on mindfulness

The author I quoted a few blogs ago, David Foster Wallace, also has some thoughts on mindfulness.

" The really important kind of freedom involves attention, awareness, and discipline, and effort and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them, over and over, in myriad petty little unsexy ways every day...The only thing that capital -T-True is that you get to decide how you are going to try to see it. You get to consciously decide what has meaning and what doesn't...the trick is keeping the truth up-front in daily consciousness."

That is the trick---keeping the truth up-front---every day. It does take attention, awareness, intentionaltiy. Keeping what's important up-front. Focus, prayer.

Getting up each morning with a prayer that the Holy Spirit is with me in the day helping me sort out what is important, what is the truth, what has meaning and what doesn't. Freedom!

How's that going?
