"Chilaxin" - Take A Moment to Relax


Chilaxin is a modern term meaning to "chill out to relax."  
When I cannot find my way, I pause to chill out in a relaxing style man!
"Wsup man?"  "Nothin man, just chilaxin man"  
Urban Dictionary
Like a trusting child on a hot summer day - we need to learn to relax.
The path of recovery is not an easy path.  It is a path not to be traveled alone.  
When you feel there is no hope . . . pause, take a deep breath . . . 
allow your higher power to enter in and bring you the answers you need.  
Here is an inspirational music video titled "God Will Make a Way"
sung by Don Moen.  I find renewed strength and hope listening to this song.
May you find renewed strength and His peace as you listen.

Overdose Hits Family - Amy Winehouse

Behind Every Addiction There Resides a Family 
Amy Winehouse did not want to go to rehab for her addiction.  In the end she pays the highest price as does her family.   Watch her US debut of the song Rehab on the David Letterman Show. Amy Winehouse was found dead in her home this week - she was only 27.  Other famous deaths at age 27 are Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix.  My heart hurts for Amy and my heart aches for her family.
