sooo much to write about and so little time....
I have been toeing my way out into society again. First with going to see that band last week where I hooked up with an old friend Archie (the drummer) and when I got home I thought alot about my old friends who I have let go. To avoid triggers and issues relating to my sobriety I gave up all my old friends to focus on me and my little family. Its been 4 years and I am kinda getting lonely. I think now I may have thrown the baby out with the bath water. I talked about it alot with my husband and he asked who in particular that I missed. I knew I prolly wouldn't ever hang with my druggie gay friends anymore as we have nothing in common but cattiness and partying but there were girls that I used to hang with that were solid postive inspiring people.
Weezi was one of them along with her friend Katrina. Weezi is a local clothing designer and I worked with her and Kat for a bit at her store. I love them, they are cool chicks who are supportive of other women and sweet AND fun (in a sober way hahah) I ran into to her on sunday at Value Villiage! I told her how I missed her store and she told me that she just reopened! She told me they had been trying to find me for quite a while and even put out a facebook alert trying to find anyone who knew where they hell I was. (I moved 5 blocks from downtown but seemed like I moved away hahah) anyway he told me of her first fashion show in two years was soon and she was nervous no one would come ...it is on the 24th and asked me to come out and said she would round up all the girls to see me as everyone has asked about me lately. It sounds fun and its also my birthday that night woooot!!!
Our first night of soccer was last night. Its a program i put together with three others from the 'hood for the kids who live here that are not priveldged enough to join other soccer clubs due to money or lack of a car or both. There are alot of kids in my hood that are offspring of addicted parents who would never be able to play team sports usually, so I knocked on doors and bugged enough to get the kids in including waving the fees for alot. We didn't know how many would turn out and were betting on only 6 or 7 but 17 turned out and it was fun AND chaotic. I have never coached anything before but we couldn't find anyone to give us their time so I just did it. Some of the kids there I knew from the hood and they were dirty and excited to be involved with something......but 17, 3-5 year olds are exhausting to say the least. I am so glad I stuck with it to see it up and running....
Its a good week, I asked to universe to give me back some friends and it did...then i worried about the kids in my hood and I found a way to get them active and involved in their community and all is well with my world!!!
