I'm an artist, and I make recovery jewelry, fine art, and custom medallions. I like to sing in my car, church on Sundays, and hang with my friends once in a while. I live a quiet and peaceful life with my husband and 3 pitbulls

Finished! We had some major grass issues with the rainy season & it delayed the process, but some friends came & knocked everything back for me. Finished laying the path this morning at the break of dawn before the heat & the skeeters came out. Praise God for daily blessings & mercies

I'm taking a break this Sunday from emailing letters to Florida leaders and sending messages on Instagram. It is the Lord's day, after all. I do pray for them most days. Sad that hate has found a home in their hearts.

Finally, the first completed installation of the prayer garden. The boulders were enormously heavy! I can't believe they were donated 🩷 my husband bought the cross for my 12 year clean anniversary present. Its so pretty. The roses match my rose of Charon cross necklace I always wear

Newest prayer garden installation; statue arrived broken & replacement coming Wednesday. Lovely large garden boulders were donated to us! The community is as excited to build this as we are 🩷 Pics to follow as soon as installment is complete. We're putting LOVE and PEACE into this broken world

The house where I grew up in Rodenback, Germany. I learned to ride a bike right there in the driveway. There was a little lake in the back where I caught tadpoles in the summer and ice skated in the winter. Now the lake is gone amd it's full of trees. Time marches on

I've been very tired. There's a lot going on in the world and I'm feeling very bogged down by it all. I've been spending my time quietly, small hand sewing projects reading, and reminiscing bout simpler times. I needed a break. I may still need a break

Narcan distribution update: got an Orlando narcan distributor to respond about setting up a distribution table at the upcoming yearly NA convention. NA can't do it, but distributors not affiliated with them can. This year I'll be working to set this up at every single state convention. Saving lives!

Once again, emailing elected officials to complain about current developments and ask why they're even in office since anything they ARE doing isn't in the interest of their constituents. I see no reason to reelect them, and they need to know that on a weekly basis.

Having been part of the Narcan distribution circuit here for a few years, I'm happy to be working with some recovery homes in a new effort to expand the reach to "normies" who aren't involved in the communities I've already been working with. Our OD rate is high, but deaths are down. It's working!

So... let's not normalize using stun guns on people who disagree with authoritarian policies like at the MTG town hall. This is absurd and insane. Who do these people think they are?!!

Another day emailing my state Senator, Representatives & the White House, telling them they're destroying the country by allowing POTUS Trump to disregard a lawful order from a judge. 2 men from my hometown were abducted by ICE. I fear all these men are dead. I've written a letter to the editor 😔

Prayer garden update: The perimeter of the meditation labyrinth is complete! I'll do the interior when more pavers are donated. Peace & love start at home, so I hope building a prayer garden spreads neighborhood joy & makes my little corner of the world a better place. Have a great weekend 🙏

Peter Gomes' book, The Scandalous Gospel of Jesus is fantastic & I'm really enjoying the 2nd part of the book, which talks about fear, & how Christians respond to it. In a world always & forever in chaos we rely too much on systems that cannot give us the inner peace we seek outside of God.

This week's book. Talks about the watering down of the gospel so it's less offensive to those who aren't really looking for transformation. "it is no accident that although Jesus came preaching a disturbing and redistributive gospel, we do not preach what Jesus preached. Instead we preach Jesus"

"The status quo is not to be criticized, it is to be destroyed" whoooooo! There's nothing "nice" about this instruction. Do not read if easily offended by legit gospel

See a negative post or reply from someone and then check their feed; it's usually nothing but negativity. It helps me have compassion & remember that it really doesn't have anything to do with ME, because I'm not the center of the universe. They're like that most of the time & to most people.

Prayer garden update: jasmine trees have been planted, and labyrinth perimeter has been mapped out. I didn't actually put any pavers down. Just mapping it was hard enough. It's hot, and I'm getting old 🤣 but when it's done it will be beautiful & a nice addition to the neighborhood 🩷

Finished this week's book. I mainly read gospel based books, but I keep one outside book in rotation; I have about 4-5 books I'm reading at any given time. Thinking a lot about Divinity school, but for now, doing my small business is keeping me busy enough along with recovery & my day job
