When you doubt your decision to get sober and doubt yourself don't forget how strong you really are, how much power you have within you to make a change and how brave and couragous what your doing is. You are stonger than you think. It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you are not. Much love to all of you xx

The Manifesto of the Brave and Broken Hearted

There is no greater threat to the critics and cynics and fearmongers than those of us who are willing to fall

Because we have learned how to rise

With skinned knees and bruised hearts
We choose owning our stories of struggle
Over hiding, over hustling, over pretending

Whe we deny our stories, they define us
When we run from our struggle, we are never free
So we turn toward the truth and look it in the eye

We will not be characters in our stories
Not villans, not victims, not even hero's

We are the authors of our own lives
We write our own daring endings

We craft love from heartbreak
Compassion from shame
Grace from disappointment
Courage from failure

Showing up is our power
Story is our way home
We are the brave and broken hearted
We are rising strong!
