# 7 TURN YOUR PAIN INTO PURPOSE

<p>Turning Pain into Purpose - Five Steps to Become a Faucet of Hope &nbsp;</p> <p>What does it mean to turn pain into purpose and tragedy into triumph?&nbsp;</p> <p>Where do you begin, and how long does it take?&nbsp;</p> <p>Join me and Linda Larson Schlitz Wednesday, April 7, 2021, at 7:30 pm on my FB profile or YouTube channel to discover how to Turn Pain into Purpose: Five Steps to Become a Faucet of Hope. &nbsp;</p> <p>Linda says, "You see, how we look at things is primarily up to us! We get to decide how to interpret what happens to us and something we may have done or have left undone. I get to decide if I want to be grateful that I'm alive and that I have a choice to be clean and sober today, whether I treat people kindly or sit home depressed, angry, and fearful." &nbsp;</p> <p>Linda's journey to healing and sobriety for the trauma she had been through came in 1976 after coming to understand God's purpose for her life. After battling the demons of alcohol and drugs she has 24 years sober and is passionate about helping others overcome their barriers to discovering God’s purpose and make a living doing it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Linda is the author of two books where she shares her recovery story of substance abuse, ADHD and other mental illnesses. Her most recent book is a 12 Step, Bible-based meditation book to help others in their recovery. Linda has been a counselor, speaker, author and life coach for over 30 years. She is a recipient of the Red Cross Hometown Hero of the Year Award and the prestigious Athena Award and various other awards and commendations.</p> <p><strong>Tagline:</strong> Linda is the Founder of Faucet of HOPE Ministries and the Christian Addiction Recovery Academy helping others achieve success.</p> <p><strong>Book: </strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Speak-God-Listening-Meditations-Questions/dp/1640859667/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=Speak+to+Me+God%2C+I%27m+Listening&amp;qid=1617878935&amp;sr=8-1">Speak to me God, I'm listening:365 Daily Meditations for Those Who Want to Hear God
