”Imagination is
everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.”
Albert

I enjoy sitting down with a good book and
reading a story. I’ve always been drawn to the fantasy and science fiction
genres. I particular like a good adventure story, that starts with character
from a very ordinary life who is thrown into an extraordinary position, and
usually ends up on a quest to save the world. I like rooting for the
underdog. I like using my imagination to bring the characters and the world
to life, immersing myself in what my mind brings to life.
I am also aware that I can use my
imagination for my own benefit in the “real” world. From following suit of
successful business people and athletes, I do spend time in certain aspects
envisioning things that I want to happen. I use it to practice speeches and
presentations in my head, visualizing success in my delivery. I use my
imagination to look to the future I want to created, using a “vision” board
to highlight what I want my life to be life and then working at believing
that is what I have now.
I do think our minds are a very powerful
tool, that our thoughts are all part of the connected energy of the universe.
How I think, my attitude and perceptions have a great influence in dictating
what will happen to me, what kinds of experiences I will encounter, or what
kind of prosperity I will receive. I am grateful that my imagination has been
recovered in my recovery so that I am able to leverage it to continue
bettering my life in its entirety.

Affirmation

There
is a great truth in Rene Descartes idea of “I think therefore I am.” I will
focus on the positive and envision good things for my future.

These thoughts are part of my personal journal - reflections of where I am and have been in my recovery, but also where I want to be. My words come from my heart, and moments of clarity when I am best connected with my Higher Power. May God grant you serenity in reviewing my humble beginnings and my continuing path of recovery.
Book Sales
My first print run of 100 copies sold out, but I have had a second printing of an additional 250 copies done this year. So more are available, now at a cost of $20 CAD. My second book, Twelve Steps for Everyday Living, is now available for purchase for $15 CAD. It is my attempt, based on my experience and those who've been a part of my recovery journey, to transform the 12 Steps into a tool for anyone to use to navigate the challenges and trials of life.

Review it? Do you have a copy and enjoy what you have read? Can you help me promote it by leaving a good review at Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21939460-lean-on-me)? Thanks for your support.
In other news, after a long debate and some peer pressure, I have started a second blog, along the same vein as Lean on Me, but in my second language. You can check it out here - Tomber dans l'appui.
