AA

I went to my second ever open AA meeting tonight, hosted by my awesome, incredible, ridiculously inspiring colleagues.

Today was one of their 24th birthdays, meaning that this beautiful woman stopped using the substances that were harming her and keeping her from her true potential 24 years ago. She now lives her potential.

I am blown away by the strength of every person I meet, once I actually "meet" them, you know? Look them in the eye and see them. Even more so for colleagues willing to relieve their pain for the benefit of the healing of a generation that will be healthier because of them.

It can be so hard for me to process work trainings, but it is so reaffirming to know we are in this for the right reasons.

To go to work and love your job is one thing, but to go to work and help others live out their destiny is another. I couldn't ask for a greater gift in a profession.

That God can take our brokenness and use it to restore is what makes God God and makes us us.

I'm so thankful for my life and the ways it's led me right here.
