Writing for Recovery

Courage – Word by Word Healing

I engage in writing as both a therapeutic and creative pursuit. It is a process for the exploration of my emotions and to allow creative expression to multiply with each stroke of the pen or keyboard. I’m smiling… I can see who I am more clearly, more honestly and for that I am grateful.
Here on the page, I can choose to visit that which is not working in my life or that with which I am just not facing. Perhaps this free-flowing expression of previously unconscious or unvoiced thoughts are merely a reflection of my fear of change. Seeing its presence reflected back to me can be enlightening. Other times, it is just good to move the energy outward – although I’m admittedly not ready or able to do anything other than observe and accept. Yet another chance to practice self-compassion.
With this frequent endeavor to chart my views and challenges, I am creating a “body of work” to reflect upon, for self-expression, or for sharing with others my thoughts and struggles.
Pretty cool.

  1. I just found you on Facebook. I can tell by reading your message that you have arrived in so many areas in your journey. “You are Awesome”, You are saying a hundred messages in a few sentences which is very inspiring. I would love to read and see more of your work, if you don’t mine. Thank you for allowing me to learn more. Ron Gillespie
