Step 9

I stepped forward
with open hands
and honest heart.

Not to erase
what had been done —
but to honor it with truth.

I carried no excuses,
only presence.

I looked into the eyes
I once looked away from.

I spoke what needed speaking.
I listened to what I had not heard.

And whether the door opened
or remained closed,
I stood
with gentleness
and resolve.

There was no promise of forgiveness.
No guarantee of return.

Only the discipline
of showing up
in love,
in repair,
one brave step
at a time.

Please join us in celebrating Brenda Greene and 24 years with Pavillon!

For 24 years, Brenda has been doing so much more than keeping our campus beautiful. As a member of our Housekeeping team, she has brought compassion, kindness, and genuine care to the patients who come to Pavillon during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

Her supervisor, Kay Benedum, shared:
“Nearly every single patient has mentioned Brenda and the housekeepers by name in gratitude for making their stay brighter.”

That says so much about Brenda and the kind of person she is.

She has also created a wonderful spirit of fun and celebration throughout Pavillon, from haunted hallways at Halloween time and St. Patrick’s Day celebrations to Easter, Christmas, cooking contests, and so much more. She leads with positivity, treats her team with respect, and has earned the admiration of the people around her.
Brenda, thank you for 24 years of hard work, kindness, laughter, and taking such good care of our patients, our staff, and this place we all call home.

Congratulations, Brenda! We appreciate you more than you know.

It’s always a good day when you get to sit down with someone who really knows their community. Thank you to Britt Dunlap with Otter House Wellness for spending some time with Kimberly Nelson, MA, Brian C**n, Barbara Bennett, and Durwin Kelly at Pavillon yesterday.

Britt is one of those people who seems to know everyone and, more importantly, understands how important it is to connect people with the right care at the right time. She has such a wealth of knowledge about treatment, behavioral health, and the resources available throughout our region, and she is incredibly generous about sharing that knowledge.

Kim shared, "Britt is a wonderful resource and a true connector for the professionals working to help others find their way into recovery. And it was an absolute delight to see Durwin's face light up when Britt walked in, as they were besties at a former employer together!"

Britt, thank you for coming by, sharing your time and expertise, and for the work you do every day to help people find the care and support they need. It was great to see you!

Oren, Jim, and the power of clinical community - in order to keep it you must give it away, but remember, you can’t transmit something you haven’t got!

Small World..

There was a point in my life when I let my world become very small.
I thought it was the end. I had become incapable of living life on life's terms. I truly believed my life wasn't valuable to my children, my family, or my friends. I was tired, lost, and ready to give up.

And I lost time because of that.

There are years I should have spent empowering my girls, teaching them to trust themselves, showing them how big and beautiful and strange this life can be. I can't go back and give them those years differently. That is something I have had to learn to live with.

But I can give them who I am now.

Somewhere along the way, I found wonder again. I found people in the rooms who showed me another way to live. I started paying attention. I started following my highest sense of what was right, even when it was uncomfortable. I stopped fighting so hard against the direction my life seemed to be pulling me and started asking what life was asking of me.

And slowly, my world got bigger.

Now I get to show up for my girls in ways I once couldn't. I get to take them places. I get to teach them things. I get to stand beside them while they discover who they are instead of disappearing inside everything I thought was wrong with me.

I wish I had known how to do this from the beginning. But I didn't. I know now.

And maybe part of empowering my daughters is letting them watch their mother discover that it is never too late to become someone who is fully alive.

A big thank you to two wonderful people in Lexington who took time out of their day to connect with Pavillon.

Kimberly Nelson, MA, our Director of Marketing & Business Development, had the pleasure of spending time with Evan M. Rice of The Helton Law Office and Larry Vaughan, M.Ed., LPCC-S, CEAP, SAP, of Counseling Associates.

Evan brings a wealth of experience in the legal field and a genuine passion for helping people find a path to treatment when substance use and legal challenges intersect. Larry brings decades of experience in the helping professions and a deep commitment to equipping clinicians and the people they serve with the support and resources they need. Both are doing important work in their communities, and were grateful for the opportunity to learn more about what they do and share more about the work we do at Pavillon.

And then there was Finn.

Evan and Larry were kind enough to brave a warm Kentucky afternoon and enjoy lunch outside so Kim’s special travel companion, Finn, her senior Chihuahua, could join the adventure. Finn was particularly impressed with Evan, who shares his love of dogs and volunteers with PAWS 4 THE CAUSE INC. Needless to say, Finn approved.

Thank you, Evan and Larry, for your hospitality, your time, and the important work you do for the people of Kentucky. We look forward to staying connected!

SELF-ESTEEM BUILDERS...

1. The 10th Step - Look at your strengths. Collect your trophies, count your victories.

2. Grow. Never go to bed at night not knowing something you didn't know when you woke up that morning. Even if you have to grab the dictionary and learn a new word.

3. Refuse negativity. Shut it down immediately and replace with it with positive affirming thoughts. That negative crap was probably a lie anyway.

4. Look in the mirror and respect the person looking back.

5. Stop apologizing!

6. Stop comparing! You are you and there aint another one like you. Embrace that. I promise you, there is a good chance that you really don't want to be that other person.

7. Treat yourself like you would treat your best friend.

8. Ask yourself what you could do for someone, and then do it. But don't tell anyone!

9. Hang up cards and letters from family and friends. Read them over and over.

10. Dress nicely, fix your hair, shine your shoes, iron your clothes and make your bed.

11. Don't be afraid to laugh. Make others laugh and then laugh with them.

12. Stand up, suit up and show up. You have a right to be there!

13. It's good to remember the good you have done for your friends/family but never forget what they have done for you. Their kindness proves that you are worthy of love and consideration.

14. Forget what the world owes you. (I'll give you a hint - Nothing!) Concentrate on what you owe the world.

15. Write down the name of a person who has wronged you. Tear up that piece of paper and flush it down the toilet. Give yourself a round of applause and take a bow. Repeat as needed.

16. Pray for what you want then work with what you get. Your faith can move a mountain but you still gotta bring a shovel.

17. Stand tall, head high, shoulders square and look 'em in the eye with a firm handshake.

Everyone, every time. Show that other person that a real man/woman of confidence and respect is shaking their hand.
