Bookmarks – November – God Jobs
My husband calls them “God jobs”. They’re those times when the Higher Power is clearly, unquestionably present. I’m talking about those amazing moments that have no other explanation—when the thing that is happening is clearly “meant to be.”
Delegate’s Letter – October 2022
“Passing it On” – through the Links of Service! In this article I am sharing information with the hope to provide our membership with a deeper understanding of the importance of our Al-Anon Links of Service and the spiritual principles that guide us along the way.
Bookmarks – September – The Power of Repetition
In a recent Forum issue, I read a sentence that stopped my eyes. It talked about Al-Anon as a program of repetition. What hit me was how true that is in my life: I need to work my program every day, or else I suffer the consequences of my default urge to control.
Bookmarks – August – Oh Them Changes
Can you feel it? The calendar page flips to August and a change takes place. The days can still be sticky and hot, but gradually, or sometimes all at once, the evenings shift cooler. Parents, usually moms, are getting children ready for school, or planning that last family vacation before summer ends. My fair-weather feathered friends are booking flights to South America.

Bookmarks – June – It’s the Best of Times
It’s the worst of times.
It’s June.

Bookmarks – May – The Interplay’s The Thing
What’s life without its challenges, huh? Earlier this year, Lori F., our delegate, called to tell me that the World Service Organization (WSO) doesn’t want anyone quoting passages from any of the Conference-Approved Literature (CAL) that could be accessed by the public, especially online. We can reference a short segment, but only with permission from the WSO. It all has to do with copyrights.
