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!

Memorial Day

In remembrance of my Uncle Eddie who served our country in Vietnam.  He and so many others throughout history gave selflessly to protect us and our freedoms.  I'll never know the high price they paid in battle.  For I am one of the many millions benefiting from their sacrifice.  Memorial Day, to me, is to always remember each soldier has a face and a name and is loved/missed by someone.  May God bless each and every one of our heroes.
