Heads up - Word Geek on the loose again:)

Although being described as a geek tends to be an insult, the term has recently become more complimentary, or even a badge of honor, within particular fields. Wikipedia

Ok, I'll admit it...and if you've been around for awhile you may have noticed that I'm a bit of a "word geek".

And the word du jour lately has been "recovery" - for awhile now - which has never sat well with me since I came from a background that I wouldn't choose to go back to as I don't have anything I want to "recover" to...

"Recovery" may work for you....but it doesn't give me any warm fuzzy feelings.

Wanna know what I changed this to?

Self discovery.

For you - "recovery" may be appropriate. But for me - since I never had the chance to develop a sense of self and well, became quite discombobulated and all that growing up in that nasty stuff...so

I went on a trip of sorts.

To figure out who "I" was in the midst of this journey.

This journey of healing

hope

and

Self discovery.


And oh yeah...

"Wellness".



Q: How do you describe your own personal journey?
