Today is our youngest daughter’s twenty-fourth birthday. Each year we witness her growth and maturity as she navigates adulthood. She is kind, compassionate, and loving. We celebrate this beautiful woman and the gift of her presence in our lives.
During a stage in my life, I often traveled for work. In addition to the anxieties of travel, I needed to consider what I needed to take along. To help with this I made a mental list. My experience with this was mixed. Sometimes I took more than I needed and sometimes forgot something I needed. The mental list made me aware to pay attention to the details.
The company I worked for had a list of what to take—books, workbooks, posters, PowerPoint, trainer notes, and a banner. Similar instructions are given on our journey of healing-reading books, support groups, therapy, medication management, clean eating, exercise, meditation and reflection, and connecting with people.
When we use these instructions we move from being mentally and emotionally trapped to freedom. Not only personally but we gain insight into our recovery through our Higher Power and share our journey toward hope, healing, and health with people (Step 12). Embracing this liberation makes us a witness to healing and opens us to receive hospitality from those we meet (compassion, kindness, and love) as we share the gifts of healing.
Today is a day to check our packing list in the Recovery community. Are we focused on our healing? How committed are we to practicing our unique plan? Do we trust our Higher Power will provide for us? We are called to share the message with those we meet along the way. When we share our healing with people it cultivates a relationship with them and in turn repairs our heart and soul.
