People that are in recovery for alcohol and drugs are often encouraged to try rehab. Depending on the severity of the situation, they are not encouraged sometimes they are required to go into rehab. That is because they understand the importance of a new environment when it comes to the healing/recovery journey.

Well, I know that I'll get through this
'Cause I know that I am strong
A rehabilitation center puts you in a different environment that maximizes your potential for recovery. The new environment is key though. It's so important to change it up in your life sometimes. I have a friend that loves to change up her house furniture arrangements. I swear I will go to her house one day and be blown away by her decor and then a week later I will return to be blown away again. She loves to switch it up.
During a rough time in my life, she began to encourage me to switch somethings up in my environment. I didn't immediately take her up on that suggestion, but life eventually made me do it anyway. My home had some plumbing issues, and several pieces of furniture was ruined. I was forced to reset my entire room and that motivated me to do that to the rest of my house. I immediately felt better, slept better and was in a better state of mind to create.
Music is so powerful that it can create a new energy within you and around you. I recognize this with Cher' song "Believe." This song is a powerful anthem of reclaiming your power and of hope. More than anything else you have to have hope if you want to change anything in your life. Sometimes all you need is a few moments of feeling and experiencing that hope to transport you into a new way of thinking, feeling and being.

No Earthly Good Available on Amazon What happens when faith no longer fits the shape you were given? When love requires boundaries? When legacy feels more dangerous than divine? No Earthly Good is a fearless, reflective exploration of belief, sacrifice, love, judgment, family, legacy, and acceptance, told through lived experience rather than doctrine. With honesty and spiritual maturity, Candace L. Smith interrogates the ideas we are taught to revere and asks what they cost us when left unexamined. This book is not a rejection of God, love, or community, it is a reckoning with how they are practiced. Through personal reflection and cultural observation, Smith challenges performative faith, unbalanced sacrifice, conditional love, and the pressure to build legacies at the expense of integrity. Written for readers navigating disillusionment, spiritual fatigue, relational grief, and personal growth, No Earthly Good offers clarity without certainty and peace without perfection. It inv...
