God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. Courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Rheinhold Niebuhr
Thank you all for your wonderful birthday wishes. I had an awesome day & saw Liverpool Football Club play for the first time with my boyfriend in the evening which was an experience lol I then went to Dublin, Ireland for a Clearmind Awakening Workshop Friday morning for the weekend & haven't been online til now so I'm soooo sorry for the delay & I'm truly grateful for all your loving. Sorry for my neglect my beautiful sisters & brothers! Thank you for that rocking video Dean, the things you find lol You're brilliant!
Right then well in answer to your questions Runnergirl what can I say.. It's been a busy year for me. I passed my Intermediate Counselling Skills course & then did a vocational qualification for my field of work & passed my paper driving test. All little achievements keeping me busy. I also attended lots of spiritual weekends including the AA Convention in Malta & facilitating my own home group Conscious Contact Retreat which I am so proud of just a few weeks ago. I completed a year's service as group leader & joined CoDA so my recovery is coming along lovingly & steadily.
For this next year I'd like to live with Carl my partner in a few months or so time & I'm building myself up to beginning my next level of training for Counselling. This is if it will be the right work for me. After 3.5 years sobriety I am still getting to know my strengths & weaknesses to see just how far I can grow & what I'm capable of. Overcoming my own fears & ego into living in my fourth dimension is the key to see what I can do for my future. I've always struggled with my confidence & self belief but these old stinking thinking thoughts are heading out for good 1Day@aTime & I'm really excited about what I'll do this year. I'll keep y'all posted.
This coming weekend is our Northern Convention for AA in Blackpool if anyone may be around & interested. I'll love to rendezvous with you there!!! Let me know anyway my lovely people. If there's anyone not yet joined me on facebook please look me up using my other pseudonym lilmzsparkles ;) Hope to hook up with you soon. I'm feeling so full of love & connection right now I'm truly grateful to be here & alive. Godbless you all, Danielle x
