Mimi L. Jacobs – Life on Life’s Terms

Time to recognize the view of my life
Riding a carousel with
An uphill gradient;
Destination filled with oppression
and no possible progression!
Time to eradicate the black clouds
stacked against me
As if life fell apart – I felt my brain implode!
Oh, no!!

Enraged, inflamed;
Gone insane!
Time to defy, to magnify,
to rectify …
Stirred to attempt to nullify

R. F. Maldonado

“Having been clean and sober more than 21 years of my life at this writing, I firmly believe that it was all a part of God’s grand plan for me to live while so many had to die… and possibly for two reasons.

I believe the first reason is for me to be able to pass on the message of hope to others still suffering from any addictions.

Once I became capable of understanding that I wasn’t just simply weak or crazy, but that I
