Introduction Time!!!
Welcome to the Keep Going Movement! I'm Lynn Ellen, and my recovery journey began on May 8, 2023. To say the last seven years of my life before that were messy would be an understatement. I went from being a housewife with four children and a busy schedule to losing everything to crack cocaine addiction. But that's not where my story ends - it's where my mission began. During my early recovery, I found myself making a simple bracelet with two words that kept pulling me through: "Keep Going." Every time I looked down at my wrist and saw those words, they gave me the strength to push forward, no matter what challenges I faced. Today, I'm a proud mom rebuilding relationships with my four children, including my oldest who didn't speak to me for three years but now has an amazing relationship with me. I get my hair done every Monday (because self-care matters!), and I hand-make and distribute over 300 "Keep Going" bracelets monthly to people who need that same reminder that kept me going. My style is boho, my heart is full of hope, and my mission is clear: to share the message that recovery is possible. I might have seen the darkest sides of addiction, including violence and loss, but I choose to focus on the light of recovery and the promises that come true when you just keep going. Through this community, I want to create a space where we can: - Support each other's recovery journeys - Share the power of the Keep Going message - Create and distribute bracelets to those who need hope - Build a movement of strength and possibility - Show others that recovery is possible Join me every morning for coffee and connection as we build this community together. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just need the reminder to keep going, you're in the right place. Remember, no matter what life throws at you, all you have to do is keep going forward. With hope and determination, Lynn Ellen Founder, Keep Going Movement www.keepgoingwithlynnellen.com

🔑 It’s Time to Create the Life You Want
Every day I’m reminded of one simple truth: Your life changes the moment you decide to build something that can outlive your time and energy. That’s why I chose ecommerce it gives me the freedom to earn, grow, and live on my schedule. If you’re working toward time freedom, financial freedom, or just building a life you love, I’d love to connect, share what I know, and grow together. Drop “ready” if you’re building your freedom this month. 🚀✨

Let's Talk About the B-Word: BOREDOM 😴
Can we have a real conversation about something nobody wants to admit? Sometimes sobriety is straight up BORING. And that boredom? It's one of the biggest reasons people go back out. We've been ripping and running for so long - chaos, drama, crisis, adrenaline, substances - that our brains literally don't know how to handle calm. We've been living at 100mph for years, and suddenly we hit the brakes and everything feels... quiet. Still. Slow. And our minds start screaming "SOMETHING'S WRONG! WHERE'S THE CHAOS? WHERE'S THE NOISE?" Here's what I'm learning in my recovery: we have to really think about what we've done to our minds and bodies throughout our addiction. We've put them through absolute hell. We've trained our nervous systems to expect constant stimulation, constant drama, constant something. We've trained our brains NOT to be calm, NOT to be still, NOT to find peace in quiet moments. So when you shut all that down and choose sobriety, there's gonna be this period where life doesn't seem to move as fast. Where Saturday nights feel long. Where you're sitting there like "now what?" and the silence feels deafening. But here's the beautiful truth nobody tells you: you have to learn how to put the brakes on. You have to learn how to close your eyes, take a deep breath, relax, and actually ENJOY the moment you're in. Enjoy that one more minute you made it clean and sober. Enjoy the fact that your phone isn't blowing up with chaos. Enjoy the fact that you're not wondering where you're gonna sleep tonight or how you're gonna fix the mess you made yesterday. Enjoy the quietness that your life is now. I know it takes time. I know it feels weird at first. You literally have to teach yourself how to be calm, almost like learning to walk all over again. You have to rewire your brain to find peace in the stillness instead of panic. Some nights I sit in my house and it's so quiet I can hear my own heartbeat, and my old self would have immediately reached for something to fill that space. But now? I'm learning to hear that heartbeat as a victory song. I'm alive. I'm sober. I'm safe.
