| Description: | The Melindaville Blog chronicles my journey of writing and publishing my memoir, “Lost and Found,” which details my experiences as a victim of childhood sexual abuse, as a sex industry worker, as an actor and musician in San Francisco’s punk rock scene of the 1980’s and my fifteen year journey through recovery. I hope to inspire others who suffer from painful early childhood experiences, addiction or other self-destructive tendencies, as well as raise awareness about the need for free and available treatment in our society. |

The Bigger Package
| Early in recovery, I was complaining about this and that (and likely everything!) to my good friend, Jim, who is also a wise Medicine Man of the Crow Tribe in Montana. He smiled patiently while listening to me and then turned, looking me directly in the eye. “Melinda,” he said, “when you are all wrapped up in yourself, it makes for a small package.” I sat back, surprised at his directness. However, his point once made, I thought about that quote a lot and realized he was right; I needed to get out of myselfmore |
