Between The Lines Recovery Podcast with Jay Lind

Hi friends, I want to bring you up to speed on what's been going on in my life since I returned from my jam-packed trip to Sarasota and Naples, FL. While in Naples I gave a talk, and held a very successful book signing for the 40th anniversary edition of my first book, and lunched and dined with an amazing group of friends throughout the week I was there. And then while in Sarasota, I got to spend quality time with my older sister. What fun we had just relaxing, watching basketball and playing cards. I miss not seeing her more often and miss all[...]

Pathway to Purpose with Todd Angelucci

I'm here in sunny Sarasota visiting my sister. It is super nice to be out of the MN cold weather for a couple weeks.

A Willing Passenger

Hi Friends, Nearly another week has passed since I last checked in with you. Time seems to be moving faster than my abilities to stay caught up. These last few weeks have been so exciting and full of events where I was able to connect with folks who have been followers, some for many years and some brand new. As a woman in long-term recovery and an author, connecting with others on any part of their journey is what I seek to complete my own. Most of us had no idea where we were headed when we opted to change our lives in some way. For me, it was making a cho[...]

40th Anniversary of Each Day a New Beginning: Daily Meditations for Women

Time to say Hello again Hi friends, Here it is, more than midway through 2022, and I am finally taking a few moments to connect with you here on my website. Hopefully, many of you have been following my posts over the last many months on Facebook. I haven't been silent. I guess age has played a part in my absence from this website. Frankly, and I apologize for this, I forget that I have more than one way to reach out to all of you. So here I am today, asking for your forgiveness. You have not been forgotten and I have spent this past week or so updating my w[...]

Each Day A Renewed Beginning: Meditations For A Peaceful Journey

Hi friends, It's been far too long since I have written a post here. I do post on my Facebook page pretty regularly so I hadn't checked out the many responses here for some time. I am delighted so many of you have written. It has been quite a year we have all lived through. The quarantine and the murder of George Floyd impacted all of us I'm sure. I am still trying to find answers for why our country is so divided. I'm not sure we will ever close the divide that has developed between the "warring" sides but I am a believer in hope and prayer so I know my "work"[...]

Change your mind and your life will change too.

The title to this post is similar to the title of one of my books written a few years ago. The exact title of that book is: Change Your Mind and Your Life Will Follow. It was a book of 12 simple principles that had the capacity to make a profound difference in how you navigated through your daily experiences. Any one simple change, for instance the decision to be gentle in all responses to all people we encounter throughout the day, can thoroughly change how we feel. It also can change how everyone we meet feels too. Life honestly isn't as difficult as we creat[...]

Getting grounded again.

It always takes some time to get grounded when I move from Naples in the winter to MN in the summer. I have made this trip back and forth for nearly 30 years, which actually means about 60 trips. Egads! But Joe and I consider ourselves extremely lucky that we have great friends in both places and don't feel ready to give up the richness of the experience both locations allow us.However, age is catching up with us and we'll not be able to do this forever. It's all about community, of course. And for us, that community revolves around 12 step groups. Recovery is[...]

Hello again. Please forgive me for my absence.

I have been absent for quite a spell. Life got in the way, not necessarily the better parts of life. In my last post I shared that I had just had a hip replacement, actually hip revision, a redo of one that was done 19 years ago. And now, 8 months later, I have had a knee replacement. Enough already. Three hip replacements, (yes three!) and a full knee replacement is enough. My other knee isn't in the best condition but it will have to wait a while. Other than recovering from these minor setbacks, life has been good. We are lucky, aren't we? As long as we have[...]

I have not reached perfection but progress has been made.

I am talking, of course, about my recovery from hip surgery. It was a month ago this coming Friday that I went under the knife. The surgeon said he was amazed I was still walking prior to surgery. It was with great pain, I assured him. I had been getting pain blocker shots over the winter while in Naples. They served me well, in many respects. I moved with relative ease; I played golf 3 times a week; I did yoga twice a week and an exercise class too. Little did I know that I was making a bad hip far worse. This hip was initially replaced 18 years ago. I am hope[...]

Curve balls come in spite of us.

It's hard to believe, as I hobble around on a cane these days, that I was golfing three times a week, doing yoga twice a week and an exercise class twice a week too, just over a month ago in Naples. Our return to Minnesota for the summer has presented me with unexpected challenges. I knew my hip was going to have to be addressed. I just didn't count on the experience I am having now. Bodies change but minds aren't always able to adjust to the changes very quickly. Woe is me. I have written in many books that we are always prepared for any change that comes lon[...]
