PANIC..but not Widespread
I was walking past Ari’s office and saw this rock! This person is obviously has some fear, however, the colors are bright and there is a happy face sun above! Ari probably knows a lot more about this rock and the true meaning.
The picture below is when I took the rock picture; I totally interrupted their meeting :) They don’t look too irritated with me though!

Avoiding the Holiday Blues
A couple of days ago I was thinking about doing a few posts pertaining to the holiday season. I didn’t have a clue on what direction to go. Enter Scott…he has a lot to say about the holidays, specifically the holiday blues. He has so much to say in fact that we are going to have to space this out a bit! I have, of course, read ahead and love what he has to say.
Hoping to find a deal on some...

NA Message from Dwayne
What Is the Narcotics Anonymous Program?

I love the small town, the beautiful landscape, the people and the clean air. So what’s the problem?? Oh my goodness, I am starting my program of recovery all over again! In the beginning I...
