He makes me feel ethereal. Sublime.
Divine.
His love is soft cotton. A raging fire.
He drowns me in his wine.
I’ll forever love him.
Bathe him in my sunshine. Kiss him in my rain.
Stain him with the ruby red dregs of my bleeding heart.
This is my love song & he’ll forever be in my chorus.

Tea for Two
Vanilla Chai Black Tea with Cardamom, Ginger, Nutmeg, Fresh Cinnamon & Fresh Cracked Black Peppercorns- for heat- and monkfruit.
Mom said it was the best tea she’s ever tasted. 🤗
Things are going remarkably well here at my Mom’s. I’m putting in 12 hour shifts- every day- taking care of Mom and her business affairs, along with my own. It’s both a pleasure and an honour that I don’t take lightly. We both feel like we’re living in a wonderful dream because we have each other every day. It’s truly bliss.
I’m not too far off from beginning my clinical hours as an Addiction Counselor. My dream has finally come true! I’m torn between beginning my clinical hours first, or going ahead and working on my Doctorate of Education in Mental Health Counseling and then obtaining my clinical hours and Indiana and Kentucky state licensures during my doctorate practicum.
Either way, I’m moving ahead with either more academia or Clinical Counseling Practicum. I’ll probably be working in Telehealth at some point in the near future, assisting clients via ZOOM/Conferencing. Time for bed. 😎😎😎

My TRIBE. Love my fellow brothers and sisters in recovery. A more dedicated, honest group of people I do not know.
Love my peeps! 😎

She that Diggeth a Pit
24 She that hateth dissembleth with her lips, and layeth up deceit within her;
25 When she speaketh fair, believe her not: for there are seven abominations in her heart.
26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, her wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
True Forgiveness
One of the most powerful things to give another person in this world, and yourself, is forgiveness.
Lord knows my good friend, Sandy, and I, had our personal tests in our relationship, but when there’s true forgiveness, there’s nothing left but love.

Lies
When they say you don’t exist but they can’t keep their tongue off your back 24/7, around the clock, no days off- to anyone they speak to.
This is called obsession. People who have obsessive personalities are quick to “cut people out of their lives”- I use quotes because that’s the perspective they administer (to all) while incredibly, simultaneously, continue tearing you down vehemently- nonstop- for YEARS, year after year.
If he or she truly cut said person out of their life, they would be silent as the grave when it comes to you.
These are the telltale signs of an obsessive personality; the individual becomes consumed with the person they profess to cut out of their lives.
They say one thing with their mouths, yet their very words tell the true tale.
What is this type of obsession?
It is hatred. Control. Revenge. Obsession.
If you are dealing with someone who is hatefully obsessed with you, the best thing you can do (for your own health and sanity) is to completely ignore them. They’re truly not worthy of taking up space in your head, so don’t do them any favours.
Hope this helps some of you out there! It surely has helped me, as I’ve dealt with two individuals who are collectively obsessed with me- consumed with me- simply cannot stop talking about me, and probably never will. Yet, I have tremendous peace and joy in my life because I choose to focus my personal lenses on peace, not chaos.
If you too are in a similar situation, know that you’re worth that peace, joy, and love, and that you’re not defined by their words or thoughts, nor are you defined by your past.
You get to decide who you are. Not them.
♥️💪🏼♥️
