Why my compass is wayward.
My name is Erin Maloney- I am a writer, photographer, graphic designer, and a hopelessly snarky recovering alcoholic. I take a deep sense of joy in memorializing all things, evidenced by about 100 notebooks, binders, hardback books, scribbled grocery receipts and toilet paper scraps I have amassed since I began journaling at the tender age of eight. I use the written word, camera lens, and various artistic mediums to send back out into the world things as I see them, and whether you like it or not, there it is.
I spend a lot of time investigating my own idiocy. Doing this is not only hilarious to me, but functional as well- probing into the raw sewage that is my greatest foibles and moronic life choices brings a sort of peace and well being, ironically enough. Being mindful of my thoughts, emotions and actions as they occur have opened me up to a level of self-awareness and understanding that I could never quite touch on while I was drinking. I am sharing here my thoughts on mindful recovery through introspective outlets like meditation, writing, and soaking in nature in all her forms.
Thanks for sharing in my infirmity. I hope you find yours too.
