August 22, 2024 Contribution Page 244 "We recognize our spiritual growth when we are able to reach out and help others." Basic Text, p. 58 To make a difference in the world, to contribute something special, is perhaps the highest aspiration of the human heart, Each one of us, no matter what our personal makeup, has a unique quality to offer. Chances are that at some time in our recovery we met someone who reached us when no one else could. Whether it was someone who made us laugh at our first meeting, a warm and compassionate sponsor, or an understanding friend who supported us through an emotional storm, that person made all the difference in the world. All of us have had the gift of recovery shared with us by another recovering addict. For that, we are grateful. We express our gratitude by sharing freely with others what was given to us. The individual message we carry may help a newcomer only we can reach. There are many ways to serve our fellowship. Each of us will find that we do some things better than others, but all service work is equally important. If we are willing to serve, we're sure to find that particular way to contribute that's right for us. Just for Today: My contribution makes a difference. I will offer a helping hand today.

Change is Possible. With the Right Support, Anything is Possible. Six years ago, I was at a very different place in my life. A high-speed chase, a hatchback packed with cocaine, and yet another trip to prison. The choices I made back then were taking me further from the life I knew deep down I wanted. Today, I stand here not as a statistic but as a recovery coach, a volunteer, and an advocate for change. I work alongside North West Stop, North West Hospice, and incredible people who are part of initiatives like the Sunrise4Stop, showing that transformation isn't just possible—it's real, and it's happening every day. This picture represents how far we can come when we don't give up, when we take steps forward despite setbacks. I know firsthand that with the right help, support, and willingness to act, change is not just a dream. It's an achievable reality. If you are struggling, remember this: You are not alone. It's never too late to turn things around, to create a life worth living, to reconnect with loved ones, and to find purpose beyond the pain. We can heal, we can thrive, and we can inspire others with our stories of growth. Let's create a life we no longer want to escape from. The journey is hard, but you are capable of it, and I'm here to walk with you. #RecoveryIsPossible #Transformation #SecondChances #EndTheStigma #RecoveryCoach #FromPrisonToPurpose #NorthWestStop #NorthWestHospice #Sunrise4Stop #CommunitySupport #HopeAfterAddiction #ChangeIsReal #SligoRecovery #YouAreNotAlone #SligoRovers #HealingTogether #AddictionRecovery #RebuildYourLife #EmpowermentThroughAction

Think about it: having a team that believes in you, offers encouragement, and stands by your side makes a big difference. Those everyday acts of support—a kind word, a shared moment, or just being there—can really lift your spirits. 💪❤️ Sticking together through the ups and downs doesn’t just help with recovery; it strengthens family bonds and makes the future look brighter. 🤝✨ Always remember that family support isn’t just about getting through the tough times; it’s about making the journey feel less daunting and hopeful. 🌟 #addictionhelp #addictionsupport #addictionrecovery

I have my own "hospice for ideas" - a place where all the wild ideas born in my head go to retire (and eventually die) 💀 after I realize I'm not the one to make them happen. Here're some recent "residents" of the hospice: 🪦 Cemetery App Yes, you read that right. A cemetery app 😅 It would keep all the information about people "living" there, probably their biography, contact details for relatives or caretakers, and a way to find specific graves. Plus, you could order services like cleaning, flowers, or candles - maybe even set up a subscription, and more.. 📍 Why is it in the hospice? Because at least two generations would need to change before this would take off - our grandparents aren't downloading this anytime soon. 🧩 Puzzle Education Project Platform where you finally figure out who you are and what you're meant to do. You'd input your skills, interests, etc., and voila - a personalized list of professions pops up, complete with the skills you'd need to get there, online courses, books, tools, exercises, mentors, and even HRs to prep you for interviews and polish your CV. 📍 Why did it move to the hospice? Sounds cool, but let's be real - it's more hustle than it's worth. And there are already platforms offering courses and coaching, and they're probably working on features like this anyway. 👕 SAYit! T-Shirts T-shirts that are the accessories, with embroidered slogans that speak your vibe.. • "Directed by ROBERT B. WEIDE" • "Just polchasika and domoi" 📍 Why did it end up in the hospice? Quick trend, high startup costs, and meh margins. Fun idea but probably not a lasting one.. So as you can see, my ideas' hospice is thriving while the ideas themselves.. not so much 😅 But that's okay! I like to think of this as my brain's chewing gum - fresh, fun, and great to start with.. until I realize I actually prefer mint over fruity flavors. So, feel free to borrow any of these! I'd be happy if one of my ideas found a new lease on life! 📷 Cementerio Municipal in Punta Arenas, Chile.

Acknowledging the Unseen Heroes Around Us There are so many heroes around us: unseen people who do amazing things every day. From the single mother raising her kids to the entrepreneur building a startup, and the waitress sharing her radiating smile, so many individuals deserve more recognition. Think about the dedicated teacher who spends extra hours helping students succeed, or the healthcare worker tirelessly caring for patients with compassion. Consider the janitor who ensures our spaces are clean and safe without expecting any praise, or the delivery driver who braves all weather conditions to bring us essential goods. Remember the community volunteer who selflessly gives time to support local initiatives. How about stopping for a minute to acknowledge them and sharing with them that you see their efforts, skills, and motivation? It takes you a minute, but it can make their day. Let's take a moment to appreciate the unseen heroes in our lives. #UnsungHeroes #EverydayHeroes #Gratitude #Recognition

Living your best life. The other day, daughter no2 was living her best 3 year old life. She was ensconced on the couch, clutching biscuits in one hand and a drink in the other. The tv was on her favourite show and she was singing along with the theme song. No1 daughter and I on the other hand were relegated to attending to her every whim. If she called and we didn’t respond quickly enough, her volume would increase. Rising to the level that only dogs and unfortunate parents can hear! That works when you’re 3 I guess. For the rest of us, I suspect we’re looking for a bit more than a handful of chocolate biccies and a fruit smoothie. My idea of my best life has been through several iterations. At first, it was about having fun. Lots and lots of fun. Then as I got older, it became about achieving success in my chosen career. As I think about it now, I realise that it’s more about the intangible things now. The satisfaction I get when a coaching interaction leads to a breakthrough for my client. A smile and “I love you” from either of my daughters. A family lunch where we are all in hysterics over some stupid inside joke. There’s a lot going on in the world right now and a lot of it is painful to witness. Poverty, wars, prejudice, discrimination. Sometimes it can feel like there’s no winning and the best thing to do is to ignore it all and hope for the best. What I’ve come to understand is that my best life is found in community and service. We are all part of a bigger ecosystem. We may not feel like our little actions achieve much, but when we put them together, it means everything. So let’s find some way to serve in our communities. Check on an elderly neighbour. Volunteer for a local charity. Get involved in a cause. Let’s find a way to look outside of ourselves and make a difference. When we do that we quickly realise that we are not as important as we think and that service brings its own reward. Until next time, go well.

Let's talk money: I tell myself every day that I am going to be incredibly wealthy. I am so incredibly grateful for the miracles and abundance that God and I have co-created together! In one year, I have done so much in terms of my paid employment and gigs, and while I didn't love all of the things (middle school, plasma, DoorDash, caregiving). It was dire, and now it's not. And I'm so incredibly grateful for every person and opportunity that helped me climb out of that scary place. I learned resilience and grit from all of it. I couldn't be happier in my current full time role. And I love how I'm now doing more creative and higher compensated side projects. Someone recently asked me about my specific revenue goals for 2025. I gave her my honest answer, but it got me thinking about what I desire, what I want to give, and what I am capable of creating. I intend to manifest $50,000 in fundraising for refugees. I intend to manifest a dream home for someone in my MLM community. I intend to make a million dollars in one year. I intend to take my family on vacation to a magical place. I'm stating these intentions with confidence, despite what others may say, because I know that when my desires are aligned to a higher purpose, God and my brain will find a way to make it happen. What are your seemingly impossible intentions that you are going to manifest in 2025? Let's cocreate miracles and abundance together! #manifestation #miracles #abundance #2025 #givingdreams P. S: If any of you know anything about investing and multiple streams of income, let's talk.

It takes us such a long while to get here And yet we keep slipping And yet we need to keep pulling ourselves back up We are but a product of our experiences We are but a product of our upbringing We are but a product of everything that hurt us We are but a product of people who were & are a part of our lives We seek validation We seek reaffirmation We want to be loved We want to be recognised We want to be desired We want to be considered important We want to be seen We want to be heard So our journeys are so full of others what they can do for us what they feel about us So how about treating yourself the way you would treat a loved one first? how about putting yourself first? how about being grateful for yourself first? how about forgiving yourself first? how about being your own back up first? And how about being proud of yourself first? BlewMinds - Believe. Be. Beyond www.blewminds.com
