Want to see how much you change? Write yourself a letter, or record yourself a video message.  Then read/watch it later.  Trust me on this one. 

You already know how to grow and mature and be human.  You don't need that information.  It's natural.  All we need to do is remove the blocks that stand in the way.  Rest easy knowing you already know. 

The scientific community has a list of requirements that need to be met in order to be considered alive.  One of those requirements is growth and change.  Are you actively growing and changing in your life?  Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually?  If we aren't growing and changing, we aren't living.  So are we dying?

My good friend and cohost from my other podcast, Recovery (Sort Of), celebrated 20 years last night, and I had the good fortune to record it.  Enjoy. 

Another share, from another meeting.  

A fire doesn't work well with one piece of wood.  But with multiple pieces of wood, a fire can flourish.  It's almost as if the fire exists in the space between the wood.  Humans are like pieces of wood.  We need the space between us and others to flourish.  

Sometimes we get inspired from the strangest places.  Sometimes, the universe speaks through the unlikeliest of people.  But if we are present, and listening, we can get the message.  

Do bad things happen to you?  Do you ever think they are protecting you from something else?  Do you have a vision of a bigger picture?  Do you trust that maybe things that seem awful now will work out for the greater good later?  Have you ever had that happen?  I try to live in trust that the bigger picture is better than what I can imagine. 

MATs - Medication Assisted Treatment.  In the drug treatment and recovery world, there are at times questions of the efficacy of such measures to help persons who struggle with addiction.  I am here to share my story that I no longer have questions about whether we should use them or not.  

What news is coming for you?  Are you ready for it?  Why do we seem so caught off guard by the next news in our life? Is there a way to be better prepared for that?
