A personal note to you:
The chance meeting of Delicia at the 2024 SF Writers Conference was no fluke.
I believe everything in life happens for a reason and that people come into our lives for a unique purpose: to guide us, show us, or awaken something inside us long hidden or denied; or to be a light for us to find our way out of the darkness or to offer us a new perspective and outlook on life.
When that happens, I feel it is our responsibility to pause, assess, and ascertain what that purpose is.
Sometimes we know immediately, as I did with Delicia.
It is my hope that this raw, real, and honest podcast interview helps at least a few people find a pathway to peace.
If you or someone you know suffer from addiction, abuse, or domestic violence please get help. There are tons of reputable and safe organizations to choose from.
If you love stories of resilience and want to read another raw, real, and hope-filled memoir on overcoming fear, anger, resentment and alcoholism/substance abuse, consider reading my memoir, Beyond Recovery: A Journey of Grace, Love, and Forgiveness. It, too, is available on Amazon or wherever books are sold.
If you like this show or others, please talk about it, share it, and most of all take a moment to love yourself.
