Stacy, Meagan and I talk about living with depression and share our experience, strength and hope! Good times... Good times... 

Working the Steps Homework #14 - Step 4

Read Step Four in AA 12x12 and Woman’s Way. Write out your anger of everything and everyone. This will become your resentment list.

You can use this Resentment Inventory Worksheet, but ONLY fill out the first two columns. You will finish the other columns *after* you've had the chance to tell your anger story. 

(Please note that I will not be doing another podcast on this assignment, which I said I would do in this podcast.)

This is a somewhat popular inspirational story, but the chemical process of emerging butterfly is true! A special shout out to Ellen who loved watching me tell her this story back in the day!

Poetry Break 3 - Arthur Miller Quote

After I recorded myself, I found this quote and turns out it is from one of his plays. Even though the context is wrong, I'm uploading this anyway because how I tell it is how I thought of this quote for over 20 years.
