Princess Diana

beingmesober

The death of Princess Diana was a devastating event for so many. Her poor boys. The car crash that took her from the world. Took her and everything she did for so many around the world. She was compassionate and full of hope and love. Her dedication to the family, even though she was so lost. She had found happiness and in a second was taken out. After her death to see Prince Charles with the love of his life. Rumors were true that Charles and Camilla were lovers. Tragedy for so many around the world.

Forever missed and loved Princess Diana.

Something everyone should know

beingmesober

That is a hard question. I googled the phrase and this is what I found, life skills, and self care, blah blah blah. What should we know? We should know right from wrong. We should know politeness and respect. Respect is very lacking in this world today as well as authority. We should know race means just a different colour or religion. Not hatred. We should know alcohol and drugs is a mental illness not something people want to continue to do. Some of us just can’t get out, but we really want to. We should know kindness. We should know that sometimes peoples reactions to you on a certain day may have nothing to do with you but something happening in their life at the moment. So ask if they are okay, or is something wrong, or just smile and walk away and say a prayer for them.

People are people and some things we know they don’t. Some things are harder for people than others.

No matter what, everyone should know to respect, be kind and live with integrity, compassion and dignity. Help one another and live a life of love.

My 3 Genie wishes

beingmesober

You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for?

My 1st wish would be, one that I always pray for is winning the lottery so, we could give our kids a home to raise their families in. My children have surpassed my age when I became a homeowner. It’s so difficult for young people to own their own home.

My 2nd wish would  be to take away all the drugs, hard drugs that are killing our youth.

My 3rd wish would be for my other 2 wishes to come true.

Describe a family member.

beingmesober

She has blond hair and brown eyes that are so sweet and angelic. She loves being with the family but so enjoys her little friends when they visit. She is an early riser and goes to bed with ease. Swimming is her favorite activity topped with going for long walks on the beach. She will often enjoy just relaxing in the sun and watching people walk by, or birds flying overhead. She is the best friend anyone can have, she is Gracie, my golden Retriever.

Mental Health

My favorite form of exercise.

beingmesober

I’m not a workout type gal. Although every May I feel like I have to join a gym. Why May? I join and a month later, nah, I don’t wanna go! Every year! Commitment issues with the gym!

Walking with my girl Gracie, our golden retriever gets me moving. Walking with my music through the trails and letting Gracie run free is my favorite! We both feel the nature and what it gives to us. If I may mention walking is the best for your body and mind.

What is your favorite form of physical exercise?

What food is my specialty

beingmesober

What food would you say is your specialty?

Well first off, I’m not really a cooker, baker, or anything really in the kitchen. I’m more of a cleaner!

But when my husband came for dinner on our 3rd date he said I made a really good salad!!! 👍

Historical events I remember.

911. What a devastating day for so many.

I was in the middle of coloring my gf’s hair and watching tv, when all of a sudden it happened. The first building was hit. I immediately thought of my father as he was living in the states, my family in Toronto, and thought the whole world was on attack. I pulled my children out of school and we stayed close and when the kids were preoccupied we watched the news all day and night, probably for the next few days. It was a scary time in the entire world.

The biggest risk I’d ever take, why I haven’t done it.

beingmesober

When I think about a risk, I think of dangerous territory. Risky, will it be good or bad?

I guess the biggest risk I would take is writing and finishing my book and putting it out there for everyone to read, interpret their own meaning or conclusion. It’s risky because it’s a story of my life, my addiction and my recovery. It’s not just about me, it’s about my parents etc.

On the other hand of a risk there’s a rewarding risk, a good risk, and that would be that I could potentially help people by sharing my story that recovery is possible for everyone, no one is special, we all have it in us we just need to ask for help.

Why I haven’t done it? One word. FEAR.
