“I’ve been in sober living for 3 years. When I heard about sunlight of the spirit opening, I felt called to move there. Though it was a change and transformation for me, I found it to be a perfect middle man into “normal living”. I have more freedom to live my life, to advance my career which I have been able to do at sunlight of the spirit. I had the chance to go on vacation in sobriety for the first time (2 whole weeks!) I saw brother for the first time since our dad died. I got my LNA license. I formed a better relationship with my mom. Sober living impacted my life tremendously, so moving into a home with more freedom and trust to live my life while still having sober living principles, I feel I have the freedom and trust in myself and from the owner of the house to live my life to the fullest. I am very grateful for this transitional house and the understanding and compassion the owner and my housemates express. I suggest anyone who is in sober living and wants to transition into living on your own again, but are a little timid to jump right in, to come to the sunlight of the spirit. It’s a perfect transitional space to ease back into sobriety with quality of life. A deep breath of fresh air. - Angie B.
“I am her and she is me.
Hi, my name is Jenni, and I am the founder of Sunlight of the Spirit Recovery home.
As you can see, I struggled with drug addiction and chronic homelessness. In the photo on the left, I knew I was dying. I can see the sadness in my eyes.
On January 29, 2021: I started my wellness journey. With the help of treatment centers, family, friends, and drug court, I never used drugs or alcohol again.
Sunlight of the Spirit helps keep me sober. God blessed me with the opportunity to help women on their recovery journey. I was once in the fire, and I now know the way out.
Sunlight of the Spirit has become exactly what we had set out for it to be: A home of hope, healing, and gratitude.
I am acutely aware of how truly blessed I am today. ”
