“I don’t want to tiptoe through life just to arrive safely at death. ” What dreams have you been postponing? What steps could you take now to make them a reality? Do you live from fear or de–light? What gift could you give yourself that would remind you that life is beautiful and worth living? Answer these questions honestly, and the… road to freedom will be illumined for you.

About Wingsofencouragement
This site has been formed to provide an atmosphere of encouragement, inspiration, hope & positive thinking. I have a passion for reaching out to others and sharing the experiences of my life; with the intention of spreading hope to those that may feel as though they can never find happiness in this world. Life is full of many wonderful opportunities of which are available to us all; we just have to find the courage to take that first step. We are here for all who want to join us in spreading a Power like none we've ever seen before. We are not based on a religion and everyone is entitled to their own perception of their God. I ask that there be no debates are altercations in this matter or the post will be deleted. When we put aside our opinions and share from the heart we become United in a powerful way and then we begin to see how we are truly all connected.
I have shared with many about my life, but I will share once again that I am a Recovering Addict. My life is so different today and for the most part, and I am excited about allowing you to know where I use to be and where I am today. After living 11 years with an alcoholic father, I was a wounded child, who had been through the horrors of sexual, physical, mental, emotional, & spiritual abuse. I carried this pain with me all through my life and caused many people great harm. It wasn't until I was much older that I started looking to drugs for my relief. I just wanted the pain to go away. I began hurting the people that meant the most to me and taking from so many. Finallly I hit , what we call rock-bottom in recovery, and I ended up in jail. This was the breaking point for my husband. He told me, for the first time in 16 years, either I received treatment or him and our 2 boys were leaving. Although this was one of the most painful times of my life, it was the best thing that ever happened to me. Since I have been in recovery I have grown in so many areas of my life. I have the most amazing freinds and they are always there when I need them, especially my Sponsor. I now have this blog , a facebook page, writing a book, working on some poetry, and I have become a Professional Alcohol and Drug Addiction Counselor. I am presently working for a Treatment Facility and I finally feel as though I am doing what I was called to do. My life is so full today and I live it to the best of my ability. I know that I have to take care of me first and all else will fall into place.
I am excited about our facebook community that has grown by leaps and bounds . Wings of Encouragement has become a place of safety for many and one where we share our feelings and help one another through difficult times thru inspirational quotes, posts, photos ,and stories from many. Most of my time has become devoted to WOE and I am currently working on ways to share my experience , whether it be in recovery or by helping in my area of expertise (counseling), writing my book, and through my poetry. I find myself being more drawn to working on my web page, facebook, and my blogging. I currently am on twitter (WOEWendyBox) and learning of new ways to spread the news about Wings of Encouragement.
I hope that you find what you are looking for on our page; if not there are so many other wonderful pages that bring positivity, encouragement, hope and love; I am sure you will find one that will meet your needs. I often share many pages so check them out.
Thank you for taking the time to read about Wings of Encouragement; may you find the encouragement and peace that you are striving for; knowing that one step at a time we are changing lives.
Sincerely,
Wendy J. Box
