Finding Your Path: Lessons from 'There's a Hole in My Sidewalk'

Now, whether that poem is well known to you or we're introducing you to a new friend, our hope is that you find some meaning in it Today and that you accept the invitation just to enjoy.
Imagine your journey to recovery as a walk down a street with unexpected holes. This episode of 'Towards Recovery' takes inspiration from Portia Nelson's 'Autobiography in Five Short Chapters', beautifully narrated by Justin Whitlock. The poem tells the story of someone repeatedly falling into a hole in the sidewalk, gradually learning to avoid it, and eventually choosing a different path altogether.
Justin invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences and consider how they can move from falling into life's 'holes' to finding wholeness. With a focus on mindful enjoyment, he encourages you to savor the moment, cherish your thoughts, and appreciate your memories. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that every step you take is a choice towards healing and growth.
Whether you're in the early stages of recovery or supporting someone else on their journey, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement. Tune in and take a step towards a more mindful and fulfilling path.
