Altruism is doing good for others without seeking

Altruism is doing good for others without seeking one’s own benefit. “With the absence of profit motive” as the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous says. When I am purely looking out for others, I receive the greatest reward. Counter intuitive I know, but I don’t make the rules 😊 God, please help me to smash my pride and replace it with selflessness. #addictionrecovery #alive #12steps #holestowhole #wholehealthjourney #wholefaithjourney #recoveryquotes #recoverywarrior #victimnomore #empowerment #selfempowered #selfempowerment #solution #solutions #altruism

Children of the 80s and 90s, you totally know what this is. ⁣

When I was a kid, I wanted a Chia Pet soooooo bad. It never happened. ⁣
⁣
As a kid I loved Care Bears, so this was the perfect thing - a Care Bear Chia Pet. ⁣
⁣
This is recovery and healing work. Rediscovering my inner child and getting to know her. What makes her smile and laugh and what feels like a chore. Sometimes it’s as simple as a Care Bear Chia Pet that brings this girl a joyful smile! ⁣

Would love to hear from you? ⁣

What are those things you have or do that bring you back to childhood? ⁣

My 12 year old daughter is a bit obsessed with sel

My 12 year old daughter is a bit obsessed with selfies. Every time she has a “perfect” hair day, she “must” capture it. But since I’m a “mean mom” and she doesn’t have her own device, I get the question “Mom, can I use your phone for a minute?”. The thing is it’s not just for a minute as just like getting the perfect hair, the perfect picture must be achieved too. ⁣
⁣
I don’t know about all this selfie business. Those of you my age and older know that wasn’t even a glimmer in our eyes growing up and all generations say, things are so different now as I’m raising my own kids. Part of my “mean mom” act is not allowing all the selfies that she wants and sometimes just saying “no”. Our self-centered society easily ropes in adults and kids alike and I don’t want my kids growing up thinking it’s all about them. ⁣
⁣
But on the other hand, I see Ella’s point. When you identify something of beauty, there is an innate sense within us to capture it. To document it, so we can go back to it over and over even if only visually and mentally. ⁣
⁣
Recently I read a post from a fellow writer on beauty. She told her girls that in order to be beautiful you need to experience and take in beauty. Fill up on beauty around you and you will reflect it all from your insides. From this perspective I can see why Ella is selfie-obsessed and I’m grateful that she finds beauty in herself. ⁣
⁣
I’m still working on figuring this whole thing out, but for today I’m going to be awake and watching for my own beauty experiences and drink them in. Hey, maybe I’ll even take a selfie of my own 😊⁣
