Yes! I can’t believe it but it is true.
I signed up for my first ever Author Event in my community. I cried tears of joy after I read the official email. It’s called Quakertown Alive! and it takes place in the middle of town. There is an Author’s Corner, food vendors, craft vendors, activities, etc. I am super excited.
On top of that, I started my last semester at community college. After this, I will have my Associate’s Degree in Liberal Arts!
As I continue to write Poetry through Recovery, I realize so many of these wonderful things in my life wouldn’t be possible without my sobriety. Painful to write but oh so necessary. Part of the way we get to keep our recovery and sobriety is to give it away.
When I first got sober my life was a multi-car trainwreck and I never thought I’d ever get my shit together. I am just living proof that even the biggest fuckups can put together a semblance of a life and live true to their soul.
If you’re in the area, please stop by and see me! I will be selling and signing books… plus giving away some fun gifts.
We are so proud of you,,,,, you were never a “Fuck Up”, you’re our baby girl, you were lost in the woods, found your way out and now you glow,,,, We love you to the moon,,, and back and around the sun,,, what a ride it’s been,,,
