IF THE ONLY PRAYER YOU SAID IN YOUR LIFE WAS "THANK YOU", THAT WOULD SUFFICE. ~Meister Eckhart

Happy Summer Solstice

You are infinitely lovable, infinitely desirable, because the One who most desires and loves you is also infinite. ~Deepak Chopra

Today I am grateful...
  • to be infinitely loveable by the One
  • for all who stop by here
  • that for every fear conquered a little more freedom finds its home
  • for the power of recovery and how it lets me be a more grace filled being
  • that today I get to create more sober history
  • for the smile that crept across my face when I heard Dennis' voice from the back of the room, not knowing he was there
  • to follow today's groove


The only way to keep calm in this troubled world is to have a serene mind. The calm and sane mind sees spiritual things as the true realities and material things as only temporary and fleeting. That sort of mind you can never obtain by reasoning, because your reasoning powers are limited by space and time. That kind of a mind you can never obtain by reading, because other minds are also limited in the same way. You can only have that mind by an act of faith, by making the venture of belief. ~Twenty-Four Hours a Day
