Today makes six years since I opened Roots to Recovery
A vision of hope that grew into gift. Since then I’ve built three more sober livings, Now transitional homes, full of second beginnings.
I lost my business license, I’ll admit the fall, Vice President of a recovery board—I lost that too. For the same reason, but still I stood tall. I didn’t give up, I kept answering the call.
My sober living program started as substance use, Now a mental health program is thriving. We work with the courts and families, one on one every day, Helping lives find a stronger, independent, healthier way.
I now serve as Director of Recovery and Wellness, For a Better Day Foundation, where hope finds its fullness. A Mental Health Awareness nonprofit with heart.
Then I collaborated and opened SoFlo State of Well Being, A medical office, a Behavioral Health Clinic of healing. And now I’m in process, a new goal in sight, A group home for persons with disabilities.
That’s a lifetime of work in just six years, Through victories, setbacks, through loss and through tears. I don’t give myself credit, though the truth is clear, If someone else had told me they’d done all this here—
And they’d stumbled, lost a fiancé, miscarried, and still carried on, I’d stand in amazement at how strong they had grown. But for me, I forget what God’s blessed me to see: Not everyone is built quite as I am.
It’s obvious His love keeps carrying me through, God is doing amazing things I could never do. And though I don’t give myself enough credit, I know— It is His strength within me that helps me to grow.
Today makes six years since I realized life was bigger than me.
