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!

The Book and the Couch

I was so drained yesterday all I could do physically was very minimal.  I thought I'd be able to work on small projects but my body was tired beyond belief.  All I could do is rest and watch episodes of Marvels Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Season 1.

I think the depression, sadness and fear I felt about Aaron dying is still with me.  I know I get very emotional these five days.  I'm going to see my therapist.  Maybe that will help.

I sent out the updates and prayer requests for the book.  At least I was able to get that done in the afternoon.
