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!

Anger, Aggression, Hate

Those words best describe how I'm feeling right now.  
They don't have a trigger - at least not one I can find.
I feel like slipping off into a no thought zone.
I wish there were such a place.

(Half an hour later...)

After writing the above I decided I needed a pick me up.
Where else do you go but to YouTube?
I love the movie Despicable Me.
I found the Banana song:


and the best dance:


Since my "feelings" weren't helping me move forward, I decided to put them on a shelf until I meet with Faith in a few hours.  That's my plan and it's a darn good one!
