In the beginning

It's been one of those weeks where I realized how little I've grown over the decades. I'm not pleased in the least. I believed through my years (okay decades) of therapy, soul searching and spiritual questing; I had progressed to a sound spiritual, loving and compassionate woman. Little did I know that the detour into darkness for the last 6 years was going to inhibit the growth that had already produced. Cutting oneself off from the sunlight of the Spirit tends to do that. Who was I fooling. It's self delusion and denial I'm told by the Great Sponsor. Character defects I'm told. Oh yes! I am a defective character, I'll give the Great Sponsor that. However, I prefer to see it in an easier softer way. I see it as signs of undergrowth.
So in effort to perfect and enlarge my spiritual life, which is what I'm told I must do to get better, I need to write out my signs of undergrowth, practice certain principles in all my affairs, take 12 steps and be of service to others. This will lead me to the path of enlightenment and get the Great Sponsor off my back.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

Be well
Jane
