Blog post““In order to become aligned with Truth so that we can stop the war within and change life into an easier, more enjoyable experience, it is vitally important to become clear in our emotional process and to change the reversed attitudes that we had to adopt to survive. Those reversed attitudes are what cause our dysfunctional perspectives – which in turn, have caused us to have a lousy relationship with life.
I am going to quote from a book now, and again a little later, that is -
Blog postWhat we want the most is also what terrifies us the most. It was more comfortable for me to sabotage myself and beat myself up than to Truly open up to Love. I was more comfortable beating myself up for being defective than I was in taking the risk of believing that I was Truly deserving of Love.
This was not at all a conscious thing – it was a result of the compulsive reactions of my codependency. I was powerless to choose someone who was actually available, an -
Blog postWe learned about life as children and it is necessary to change the way we intellectually view life in order to stop being the victim of the old tapes. By looking at, becoming conscious of, our attitudes, definitions, and perspectives, we can start discerning what works for us and what does not work. We can then start making choices about whether our intellectual view of life is serving us – or if it is setting us up to be victims because we are expecting life to be something whic

Blog post“Doing workshops, or any speaking in public – or for that matter in private counseling sessions in person or on the phone, or any opportunity to share my experience, strength, and hope – is always a type of Goddess stroke for me anyway. Anytime I have a chance to speak my Truth, to share the beliefs and knowledge which I so passionately embrace, I get to touch the Divine. I get to be a channel for Love to flow through. (One of the things I want to talk about in this Newslett

Blog postI posted my first crude website in February of 1998 – at the urging of a friend in Santa Barbara where I was living at the time. The following year in February 1999, I launched my own domain Joy2MeU.com, In Update Newsletters that I started sending out for the first site and continued to do for the second site, I was sharing my recovery process in a pretty intimate level with people who had signed up for my Update Newsletters.
I did this because I felt it was important for -
Blog postSeptember 4, 2019 – I have been meaning to update this page for quite awhile – and am just now able to find time to do that. It was quite a journey since April when this whole owning I have a choice to focus on the part of the glass that is full exercise started. In this update, I am going to start with my last posting on this page on June 21st, and add the updates I made on my Working The Third Step page.

Blog post“There are times however, when life events feel emotionally battering. When the experience of life feels abusive. When if feels as if my Higher Power is being sadistic and anything but Loving. The tools still work at times like that – but they work in terms of giving me the patience to know that this too shall pass. They work to help me be gentle and kind to myself at times when I am very uncomfortable emotionally. If I try to force myself out of an emotionally u

Blog post“One of the difficulties in this healing process is that even after we start to awaken to being butterflies, a part of our mind keeps telling us that we are low, crawling, disgusting creatures.
Taking the power away from that part of us is the key to the healing process. A key to stopping the war inside. We need to take the shame and judgment out of the process on a personal level. It is vitally important to stop listening and giving power to that critical place withi -

Blog postI want to clarify and expand on the response I wrote in 1998 to reflect what I reiterate in so much of my writing, that recovery is not black and white – there are multiple levels to everything, including our motives.
“Codependence is a disease of reversed focus – it is about focusing outside of ourselves for self-definition and self-worth. That sets us up to be a victim. We have worth because we are Spiritual Beings not because of how much money or success we have – -
