It’s my birthday! 💕🦋

I won barefoot bocce. 💗💗💗

I’m not editing this reflection for Bluesky. I largely have had women sponsors, unless every single one I asked said no. #sobersky

Bright your Light with you. #sobersky

When you repeatedly apply steps 4-9 over time when prompted by anxiety, inability to get along with others, strife… You get into the Flow of accepting and allowing, no longer held back by the weight of old ideas. Free to choose again. And again. #sobersky

The marsh is blooming.

Studies show that dancing will immediately lift your mood. Dancing is steps 10, 11 & 12 embodied. #sobersky

When you aren’t feeling 100% so your friend sends you a pic of your nephew. #love #caturday

Fall 1991. Two years sober. Today, 36 years. I feel so grateful to my former self for beginning the daily practices of recovery which continue every day. I enjoy the benefits of serenity, a calm quiet mind, true connection with others, freedom, acceptance and robust vitality. #sobersky

The green card is a lovely meditation any time of day. #sobersky

Take a walk.

Yoga plus a long walk in the woods. 💕🦋

Yesterday was dancing day. Key to my survival.

I have missed you Bluesky.

Walking 4 miles today after weight training because tomorrow snow is in the forecast. The birds are flirting with each other. They also like my post workout curly hair. Keep the promises you make to yourself. #RecoveryPosse

And set boundaries. #RecoveryPosse #Sobersky

Turns out, based on the blood tests, I have no immunity whatsoever to measles. So I’ll need another MMR as soon as possible. I did not have that on my BINGO card for March. I’d rather find out this way. You might want to get your titers checked depending on various internal and external factors.

I registered for my first semester of masters classes. So excited! Trusting all things are working together. One small step forward. 💕🦋

We might call it grit, a universal capacity which we all share. Self examination, prayer and meditation connects us to the Truth of who we are and what we are capable of. Any person can fight the battle for just one day. We got this. #Activate #RecoveryPosse #Sobersky

I love my city.

Dancing around the lake today!

Be they virtual or in real life. When I write my gratitude list each day, conversations are always at the top. #RecoveryPosse #Sobersky

I printed out my required vaccination form for graduate school for my physician to fill out. We will check for measles titers in advance of field placement. And now, a 4 mile walk to look for signs of new growth. this chapter is built on a foundation of care. #Dreams #Nottooold #Nevertoolate

Helpful primer on insurance industry, particularly medications. Do your research. You can often find less expensive meds without using insurance. Not just Cost Plus Drugs. GoodRX, Costco plans, etc.

The Great Reality is deep within. #RecoveryPosse #Sobersky

“We all do better when we all do better.” Paul Wellstone

Early spring in MN.

Dang. Those clouds though.

And they don’t appreciate the funds they contributed being stolen from them by criminals.

Attune to the pulse of your inner world through daily self examination, prayer and meditation. This effort over time creates a trustworthy, contented person. There are no quick fixes. #RevoveryPosse #Sobersky

Meet me in the place of Beingness, free of compulsive, performative and exhaustive doing. Together, we imagine something different. Rested, we respond and create movement.

When I was 19, the “expert” said the chances of my staying sober a year were less than 1%. I said, “Why not me? Why can’t I be in the less than 1%?” Then, I fired him & placed myself in the hands of those who live one day at a time. Those days add up to a lifetime. #RecoveryPosse #Sobersky

I’m not sure of these numbers, but I have doubled down on Costco. I honestly thought a MN-based company would have corrected this policy error. #Target

My governor @governorwalz.mn.gov in Rochester, MN.

There is a gathering I enjoy, yet they ignore and so endorse a man who speaks of women in the most base and de-humanizing way. No. I leave them to it. #RecoveryPosse #Sobersky

Take a long walk and behold. Beauty is everywhere, even in the dead of winter. #RecoveryPosse #Sobersky

I read about this interview, but I needed to see it for myself.

A delusional twist on the Golden Rule. Scorpions are going to sting. Years ago, my dear mentor said, “What is a miracle like you doing in a room with someone like that?” I stammered. “You wanted to be right and so exposed yourself to being hurt.” I no longer carry scorpions. #RecoveryPosse #Sobersky

I write and affirm gratitude every single morning. I intend to think, speak and act in alignment with Principle. When I fall short, I make amends and keep it moving. #cheatcodes #happyjoyousfree #RecoveryPosse #Sobersky

Began this day chatting with my spiritual advisor. I recommend finding a person who scares you a little in ways you wish to move in the world, humbly ask them for guidance and their time and do as they suggest. All of my victories are shared. #RecoveryPosse #Sobersky

Daily inventory, forgiveness and acceptance practices, including mindfully sitting with the emotions which arise, allows for greater awareness of our shared humanity. Kindness and compassion arise from that place of Oneness. #RevoveryPosse #Sobersky

You are worthy of care, physically, emotionally and spiritually. #RecoveryPosse #Sobersky

Do the work. #RecoveryPosse #Sobersky

Is there anything more fun than making a new girlfriend in recovery? Nope. #connection #RecoveryPosse #Sobersky

Highly recommend living from Principle. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #RecoveryPosse #Sobersky

Anywhere and everywhere.
