Love and Light in Recovery

    I am spinning the silk threads of my story, weaving the fabric of my world...I spun out of control. Eating was hard. Breathing was hard. Living was hardest.

I wanted to swallow the bitter seeds of forgetfulness...Somehow, I dragged myself out of the dark and asked for help.

I spin and weave and knit my words and visions until a life starts to take shape.

There is no magic cure, no making it all go away forever. There are only small steps upward; an easier day, an unexpected laugh, a mirror that doesn't matter anymore.

I am thawing.

Laurie Halse Anderson

I've decided to choose life rather than death. I want to feel and breathe and laugh and smile.I cannot say it's been easy, but it's been completely worth it. Through yoga, I have learned to love not only others, but also myself. The body is beautiful and worth loving. The body has so much to say. Yoga has taught me to use my body to find freedom and expression of who I am. I have learned to breathe into my inner being for all that I truly am. I am living. I am breathing. I am beautifully designed. I am light and love in recovery.
