I had stated in a comment above about volunteering as a face painter… I’m loving it. I have been practicing all week and even as we speak I am sitting here with a butterfly painted on my face. Silly? Yes. Do I love it? You betcha.

My son has his face done up as a pirate right now. What’s funner than having a mother that needs to use you as a guinea pig for her face painting?

Depending on how this whole thing goes on Saturday and Sunday, I’m going to look into how I could make a little cash while painting faces. Imagine having a job that makes people smile all the time? That would be great.

You always come in at just the right moment bottlecappie. Sometimes I feel lost and you say but look at what you did here and there and I say… oh ya, I didn’t think of that. Thank you.

Erin, you are doing something important with your writing too, and you should give yourself credit for that.

Maybe some people have one great purpose in life, like they always knew they wanted to be a doctor or whatever. But I think some of us, our purpose is to find ourselves and in the process we send out ripples that help wake up the people around us. I see you doing that with this blog, and the Suboxone Help Spot – and I’d bet that you’re doing it all the time in other parts of your life.

Seeking one’s purpose is a purpose, right?

You know what’s funny? Just after writing this post about trying to find my life’s purpose I was asked to volunteer my artistic ability in the form of children’s face painting for an upcoming local event. I agreed.

I realized just how much I love this type of thing and I’ve been so excited. I guess this is one more role to to add to the list: Children’s Face Painter

DH and I just had our last child move out of the house. I couldn’t be happier for him (or me!)

A parent’s job is to make sure their children can eventually stand on their own two feet. We do this one day at a time by giving them the tools they’ll need to be successful.

At a meeting a while back, I heard something that really resonated with me. We need to DEMONSTRATE the principles of our 12-Step program to those we meet-that includes our family members. I carry this reminder in my wallet, so I look at it on a regular basis. It really helps to guide my actions.
