Hello, Community!
I am thrilled to discover that is has only been 9 months since my last login to the community. In my last post, it had been a three year interval since my post previous to that one. The ability to be consistently active has been challenged by my recovery work, but I have been diligent in my therapy work, and am delighted to share yet another celebration of success with you today!
I have relocated from Arizona to Oklahoma since my last post, and have been thrilled to discover that Oklahoma is on the cutting edge of mental health services. I have received a warm welcome from my service providers, and am actually participating in workshops and volunteer opportunities.
Can you hear the "Hallelujah Chorus" that is leaping from my heart right now???!
I have finally, at long last been able to establish my business, where I will be teaching the lessons I learned during my long journey through recovery from Bipolar, PTSD, DID, and Homelessness.
I still find the need to highlight the complicated blend of my life experiences, because those harsh realities still feel very surreal to me.
I have published a preview of my business site while I finalize the details of launching my LLC, and am very excited to be settling into my new home town. I have relocated cross country several times during my life, but my latest move has brought me to a place of rest, hope, comfort, and engagement with mental health service providers who are celebrating my successes while we take steps to continue my recovery work.
I am overjoyed to share this update today, and look forward to sharing further news with you on a more consistent basis. I just discovered the ability to set up a local community PACES, and will be sharing that opportunity with my treatment team. My hope is to establish a community for my new hometown so that I can fully engage in my desire to teach the recovery process as I have experienced it for myself.
As you can see, I feel a great need to tell my story, and I look forward to sharing my artsy, crafty, educational materials through the vehicle of my new business!!!
I'm grateful for the work that everyone has done to create this online portal for the ACEs education that has helped change my life for the good. I'm celebrating the fact that writing this post today has been tear-free, and is coming from a much more stable emotional state than I have experienced up until now.
I look forward to sharing my workshop and teaching tools in my store, and my hope is to become a voice of hope for others whose lives were as severely damaged by ACEs as mine was.
I am celebrating the fact that I have been able to share this update without tears, and with a happy, grateful, and joyful heart.
With great love and appreciation for all of you,
Connie
