About This Blog

My blog shares my recovery journey from childhood abuse to living with mental illness. I've been involved in twelve step groups and therapy since 1982. I accepted Jesus as my Savior in 1988. To the best of my ability, I have followed where He wants me to go and what He wants me to do. Maybe you'll find the hope and strength you need through what I write. Maybe you want to stop hurting yourself. Maybe you have a friend who needs help and can benefit from my story. I was newly disabled when I asked God this question: "What do you want me to do with my life?" I closed my eyes and paused for a few moments to still my mind. This is what I sensed from Him: "Amy, I want you to write your story to bring hope and healing to those who are still suffering." And that's exactly what I am doing!

Rainy Sunday

It seems to be time for an extended rest.  This includes watching movies, possibly cutting a friend's grass and spending time with my little buddy Cao.  He brings me so much joy!

I've been thinking about the next segment in God's book.  I have a couple more experiences to write about in the third grade.  Then it's on to fourth grade.  I must print what I have thus far.  I'm sure there are important parts of my beginning that I am missing.

My back is still a bit on the rocks.  It seems going from a sitting position to standing is a bit tricky.  I think I've figured out the strategy.  It takes a couple of minutes to stand up right.  I think walking has been helping.  It's not locking up like it was a couple of days ago.

My appetite has decreased.  Or it's what "normal" is.  I'm rather liking it.

Back to rest.
