Wisdom Wednesday

A love note to you, dear subscriber….

Thank you for being a paid subscriber to my nascent, building Substack. You should know that I have been writing for myself and others since I was about 4 years old. I would create handwritten masterpieces, staple them together and give autographed copies of these epic transmissions as gifts. So in many ways, I’m late to the game of returning back to the thing I did naturally as a young one. Such is the course of human events, eh?

In this first paid subscriber piece, I want to share with you some insights that have governed my second year of recovery. If I’m being honest, the first year of recovery is full of crashes – physical and emotional; testing of limits – physical, emotional, spiritual; and really just trying to make sense of what just happened to you.

But since April 1, 2025 – the year anniversary of my stroke – I have been tethered to the miraculous. I am acutely aware of the miracle that exists in the present moment – and all of the present moment miracles that I have stacked consecutively to build a foundation of recovery that has restored me to a level I once thought nearly impossible – yet still worked toward anyway.
