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.

Life

We watched a movie the other night about a father and son who were writers. The movie is named "Flynn", I think. It's pretty good -not great. But it had a line I liked. The father (Robert DeNiro) said to the son, who was working in a homeless shelter, "I know what you are doing here. You're gathering experiences. All life is gathering experiences."

Isn't that true? If we are aware of each those experiences; if we think about them, consider them as part of a larger picture, isn't that really what life is? But how often do we do that? Do we really stop each day and consider the moments, the conversations, as the real essence of our lives?

Do we stop and thank God for the gift of those experiences? Do we ask God to help us make the most of those experiences, to help us shape our lives in His grace?
