Then VS. Now🌸🫶

Allowing myself to be vulnerable today. I am DeeAnn., I am in recovery and have never been happier. This journey has not always been easy, some days were pure torture. But I made it here today. That’s what matters. If there is anyone struggling with addiction or has a loved one who is. Please just keep trying. It took me over 6 times to get it. There is strength in numbers. So be the positive or support when you can.

Recovery is a profound journey, often laden with struggles, but it is also filled with hope and resilience. DeeAnn's experience illustrates the reality many face during their recovery process. The transition from addiction to recovery can be daunting, with setbacks that may test one's resolve. However, each step taken is a testament to personal strength and growth. In her journey, DeeAnn emphasizes the importance of connection and support. Finding a community that understands your struggles can bolster the path to recovery. As she highlights in her story, perseverance is key. It’s inspiring to know that many have walked similar paths and emerged stronger. If you or someone you know is grappling with addiction, remember that reaching out can make a world of difference. Engaging with others who share similar experiences fosters a supportive environment where healing can flourish. DeeAnn’s journey serves as a beacon of hope, reminding us there is strength in vulnerability and that every step forward, no matter how small, is worth celebrating. Stay connected with communities that promote mental health and well-being, and encourage discussions that help break stigma around addiction.

This post is to all the beginner crocheters. We all have to start somewhere! Crochet can be very challenging when you’re first getting acclimated with the skill but don’t give up! You will soon fall in love with it just like I did! As a left handed crocheter it took me longer to get the hang of it

How I Study the Bible Now vs. Then ✨

I used to rush through Bible reading highlighting verses, following yearly plans, and checking it off my list ✔️. But I wasn’t truly taking it in. It felt more like a task than a way to grow spiritually. Now, I study with intention. Instead of just reading to finish, I focus on what stands out a
