prayer – Write Pray Recover

Thank you for trusting me with your personal stories yesterday and last night.

Wow.

There is so much truth to the fact that we ALL have a story, and that when we share our stories, it allows us to feel supported, and to support others who are experiencing challenges, adversity and heartbreak.

Please know that suffering does not discriminate. However, as we come together and we share our experiences, and we pray for each other, we build a loving community, a spiritual community, where we also build resilience. And the more we practice resilience through healthy practices, daily, the stronger we become…the more resilient we become.

We adapt and navigate with mindful determination through the stress, we continue to be productive, go to work, enjoy our family and friends, love, laugh, cry, all together, knowing we are not alone. One day at a time. One hour at a time. One moment at a time.

I shared my personal story of my own 13 year recovery from substance use disorder as well as my daughter’s ongoing battle with this life threatening disease. You reached out privately to share your similar story and experience. And so many of you told me you had not shared before. To unpack that build up of burden is a relief to our physical and mental health.

What I have learned over the years in working in this field, and having the lived experience is that we NEED each other, and we experience comfort when we feel a part of a loving community. And we all deserve to live in peace and wellness, no matter our circumstances.

WE are not alone when we speak our truth and ask for what we need. And inherently, we know what we need to feel better. It will look different for everyone, and will change over time with our circumstances.

Love, kindness, support, prayer. COMMUNITY.

KEEP SHARING.
KEEP PRAYING.

Find whatever healthy practice provides you with wellness and peace, and take time for your self care every day.

You have the right to live your life in peace, joy, and wellness.

I need not subscribe to anyone else’s idea of how “to pray” or what “to believe”.
My individual spiritual practice has been my primary source of inspiration and motivation on my journey of recovery. It continues to deepen my faith. It works for me.
God saved my life nearly 12 years ago from a life threatening brain disease known as SUD. (Substance Use Disorder).

He has provided me profound life lessons where I have learned to become more self aware, self regulated, self sufficient, and to grow more empathy of social awareness in my interaction with others.

Spirit has taught me that prayer, self care, love and kindness are the keys to connection, happiness, inner peace, and abundance…a life where I seek a spiritual answer that unfolds organically rather than reacting in an escalated moment of fear, frustration or disappointment.

Prayer and faith is subjective and personal.

And a spiritual connection is one’s ability to “intuitively understand something that impacts our soul and gives meaning to our lives”, and recognizing a strong connection to something bigger than oneself.

Pray, in whatever way you connect to God, the Universe, Spirit, or Nature. In this authentic space, you will be lovingly guided, and you will hear the answers. Each spiritual connection is unique. And, be open to a new perspective that teaches us to understand and to respond through a wider lens.

It is through this wider lens that I have learned, grown and continue to evolve. And, I repeatedly step into the space of a wider lens daily as each new day brings its own puzzle of pieces that need to be interlocked in a way that makes sense for me to feel spiritually, physically, and mentally connected.

Love and blessings,

Wendy
