Something Good

Life is messy. Life is hard. Life can still be beautiful.While writing Something Good, I was able to reflect on the days when I spent a lot of time praying to have God remove me from my trials. Now I am grateful for those challenges that have helped me better come to know God. I would love to share my experiences with you.Something Good is a collection of stories that address some of the hardships that I have faced and how I began to heal after I allowed myself to feel once again. I wrote this book as an alternative to using substances to fix what felt broken inside of me. I struggle with addiction, mental illness, type 1 diabetes, and grief, among myriad other challenges that you and I might have in common.The details of my experiences might look differently than yours, and that is okay because the fact that we are all suffering to some degree sets us on common ground. I believe that hardships are the ties that bind humanity and point our focus back toward God.I hope that you can find something good to encourage you while reading this book because you, my friend, are not alone in your trials.Much love,AO
