DESCRIPTION

Dancing in the Doghouse is my spiritual autobiography. It is about my struggles through mental illness and my desire to tell my story today as a source of hope to others. It's about other things too, especially the ways God was with me- even in the really hard places. It's also about encouraging others to tell their story to reduce isolation and give others hope. Spiritual autobiography can be about all of these things and so much more, but I can’t tell you what it will mean for you. You have to figure that part out for yourself! But, I will help you get started. View this slide presentation to begin!

Alisa's life hasn't been easy.

Like most, her past is filled with ordinary (yet considerable) challenges -common things not easily overcome.

Looking back, Alisa sees struggle and suffering, but she also finds much hope mingled with it.

She can see the hope because she has kept an account of it:

Page 17: Spiritual Book

on papers with a pencil,

upon canvases with a paintbrush,

using torn papers, pastels, glitter and ink.

Page 18: Spiritual Book

Reflecting on this account, Alisa discovers that someone has been with her through it all:

an ever-present, personal and loving God.

Dancing in the Doghouse shares this hope…

for the chance that others will see it, know it and share it too.
