"Unexpectedly gripping...inventive and profound...a stirring read," this beautiful book helped me better understand and appreciate the recovery journey. It's now available for pre-orders.

Just FIVE days left of #the100dayproject, and I am inviting you to join me in the final push. Set aside just 10 minutes today to declutter something. Open a junk drawer. Toss out a ratty item of clothing. Go through the stack of papers on your desk.

Just 10 minutes. We can do this. Go!

Fun with decluttering continues as I make my way to the finish line of #dothe100dayproject. This week, however, I find myself saving more than I'm tossing, with "keepers" going into a new box (for now). Found this gem scribbled on a scrap of paper. Pronounced "crack," which cracks me up. :-)

A great discovery during this week's decluttering efforts for #the100dayproject: an old folder labeled "Inspirational" filled with letters, articles, advice from my dad, and handwritten lists of great quotes and ideas. Based on the handwriting, some of those lists date back to high school!
