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

Sponsors are lighthouses, not foghorns. We look to them to see how they do it, not depend on them to tell us what not to do. We already know. ~Pocket Sponsor

Today I am grateful...
  • that I can usually speak my truth
  • that I am not a shape-shifting reptile as some may lead you to believe
  • that occasionally my mind goes on field trips, but never strays too far from home
  • that my Higher Power has granted me the loan of this life of freedom and sobriety, I can trade it any day for the old way of living
  • that all my jobs are creative
  • that I continue to have a storehouse of images that need to be captured


Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we have learned here. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts. ~Marianne Williamson

Why are there so many shape shifting reptiles in Texas?

So many cosmic mysteries, so little time.

I think all the humidity down here is condusive to "shifting". My shape has sure shifted since I quit smoking.

What the heck is a shifting reptile? I am off to Google that item.

Is long as your mind isn't taking field trips on big yellow busses - you are just fine.

The closing quote was great. Thanks. I always liked Marianne more than Ginger.

Me too! In fact Patrick/Micky has stopped calling me a shape-shifting reptile and is now calling me a 'brain-altered AA zombie'. Progress -- loved the quotes about sponsors.
