Need a Speaker for Nat’l Alcohol & Addiction Recovery Month?

Posted by Stanice Anderson on 09/04/2009 in faith, inspiration, Recovery, Speaking, Stanice Anderson with 1 Comment

I would love to be considered as an inspirational speaker/performing artist for any events during and after National Recovery Month. I have been clean and free from the bondage of active heroin addiction for 24 years and counting–one day at a time. So long-term recovery is possible! And women do recover!! I am a witness.

I am author of memoir I SAY A PRAYER FOR ME: One Woman’s Life of Faith and Triumph (Walk Worthy Press/Warner Books), as well as a one-woman show, Walkin’ On Water When the Ground Ain’t Enuf, which I perform. On February 2, 2010, Howard Books/Simon & Shuster, releases a new book, SistahFaith: True Stories of Healing and Hope, compiled by Marilynn Griffith, which contains a few of my life-stories.

Let my team and I tailor an unforgettable inspirational presentation and/or performance for your organization, school, college/university or group.

When You Don’t Know What To Do

Posted by Stanice Anderson on 09/03/2009 in faith with No Comments

This came to mind as I chatted it up with my precious Canadian friend today. I dedicate this to all of us who have days when we don’t know what to do:

As children bring their broken toys,
with tears for us to mend,
I brought my broken dreams to God,
because He is my friend.
But then instead of leaving Him
in peace to work alone,
I hung around and tried to help,
with ways that were my own.
At last, I snatched them back again
and cried, “How can you be

Who I Am

I'm an author, inspirational speaker, vocalist, and performance artist. I was a heroin addict saved from myself and the lifestyle (with all the pain that comes with it) but the mercy and grace of God. Thus, I am a late bloomer; but blooming none-the-less. I've yielded every talent given me, and am now using them to encourage, inspire, and motivate others to discover and lives God's marvelous plans for their lives. My books include my latest, Walking On Water When The Ground Ain't Enuf; I Say A Prayer For Me: One Woman's Life of Faith and Triumph (Warner); 12-Step Programs: A Resource Guide For Helping Professionals; and Contributing Author of SistahFaith: Real Stories of Pain, Truth and Triumph compiled by Marilynn Griffith (Howard/Simon&Schuster). I also perform a one-woman show with comedy infused throughout. It's who I am--by God's grace--one woman on a journey toward unwavering faith.
