Helping others, helping myself

My sober sister Christina, and I, are starting a new meeting for women. It will be on Tuesdays at noon, and it will have childcare.

We were talking one day, and we both fessed up.
Got honest with each other.


There is one meeting that we both attend....and it's not for sobriety...it's for the childcare.

No bueno.

A meeting should be a place where we feel our sobriety get stronger...not a place that has us leaving with more resentments than we came there with.

(Which I might add, as been happening too frequently for me at this particular meeting...)

As of now, there are no Tuesday meetings with childcare, so I'm really excited to be starting one. It's the first meeting I've been a part of "starting," and I'm so excited to be doing this kind of service work. Christina is a great person to be working with also. She has started meetings before, and is stoked to be working on this project with me. So excited.

On another note...yesterday it was friggin' 9 degrees here, and 32 degrees in Homer, AK. WTF???!!! Harper doesn't seem to mind the cold too badly right now...but maybe that is because he is part Alaskan??

Nate and Cathy's wedding is this Sunday. Rehearsal dinner tomorrow night. I'm excited to be a part of their big day. I love them both dearly. I am also excited to dress up in my beaaaauuuuuutiful bridesmaid dress, wear lipstick, rock my red hair and feel pretty for the day....

***I just need to say how thankful I am for a heated house...damn baby, it's cold outside!!!
