Phoenix
I am on my way to speak at Arizona State in Phoenix next week. I will be speaking to an Exercise & Wellness class on Substance Abuse & Addictive Behaviors. The Dr. wants me to talk about my own experiences, which I wrote into NOTHING (along with other peoples' experiences), and I had hoped that I would be done with that. So it will be interesting. i have had dreams about my ex again, but not the nightmares that i had when i was with him. Now they are "I pity him" dreams.
I will also be speaking to parents at the Tempe Baha'i Information Center about creating families that protect kids from substance abuse -- since our whole advertising world encourages the use of substances to solve problems rather than working them out. (Pharmaceutical companies won't make money if everyone finds ways to solve their problems without the use of drugs--and it is an easy jump from a prescribed or OTC med to an illegal one.)
And on the way i will be visiting a friend who lives on the Navajo Nation--i am so excited!
