Dear friends and followers, If you have been around or my work for very long you soon realize that there is one word that summarizes who I am more than ANY other. That simple word is HOPE. It is such part of me some of you will remember be changing some of my group name and parts of my identity to "Hope in Recovery" a few months ago. Over the last couple years I have learned a very valuable lesson, especially in the world of social media. "Recovery" =  Substance Abuse /Addiction. That being said, I do not see what I do to be solely for the purpose of helping those battling this issue. That is not to say that I am abandoning all dear friends

Carpé Diem Remember Yesterday, Hope for Tomorrow, Live Today! We always talk about New Years being a chance for new beginnings, a chance to start over, to do things differently than we have in the past. However, sometimes, the first thing that we have to do is do NOTHING! As we prepare to leave 2011 and enter 2012, I encourage you to join me in a time of reflecting on the the past year. Yes, that includes acknowledging and possibly facing some old pain, but it is also a time to remember the joy and the victories that we have had. In looking back that focus is not to beat ourselves up over our mistakes, but to remember them so as to no

To develop and maintain a collaborative community of consumers and providers of mental health and/or substance abuse services, in order to create an environment that promotes hope, recovery and personal growth. I'll tell you what it really means to worship the LORD. Remove the chains of prisoners who are chained unjustly. Free those who are abused!
