Yesterday marked four years of being clean and sober for me. If I’m honest, I didn’t even remember. It’s only that I saw it on my calendar. I’ve gone four years abstinent before so that’s probably why I wasn’t too phased about the occasion. I’ll probably feel more excited next year knowing that it’s a brand new milestone.    Four years clean isn’t actually a very long time in the world of addiction recovery. However, my healing journey really started a good twenty-five years

I’ve spent most of my life, unconsciously, trying to prove that I’m worthy through “making” it; both financially and societally.   For as long as I can remember I’ve had this inner drive to hustle and bustle – always looking for the next big thing that's going to somehow make me happy.

For years I stayed trapped in this cycle because I believed that I was just a product of bad luck. I truly felt that I was a hard-done-by victim. I was placing all of the blame

In the world of holistic health , emotional healing , and homeopathy , it’s common knowledge that unprocessed emotions often lead to physical symptoms —and in many cases, long-term physical disease. However, much of the general population has no idea that this is usually where the physical expression stems from! This mind–body connection is one of the most overlooked areas of wellness.   Western medicine has taken such a stronghold on the general population that this once wel

When I look around me I can honestly say I’m absolutely astounded by the amount of people who are in an unhappy relationship! In fact, I would say that I know far more people who are drowning in misery with their partner, than people who are truly and genuinely in a loving and happy relationship. How sad is that! I think partly this is because society has pushed the agenda that in order to be a “fulfilled and accomplished” person you have to get married, have the white picket
