Leeann Nabors joined the Board of Directors of Crossroads in 2020. This spring Leeann worked on the Walking Home fundraiser. She was one of two committee members who hiked with Sister Terry more than fifteen miles from the California Institution for Women to the Harvard House, in solidarity with the women of Crossroads.

As I hopefully anticipate the “reopening” of California this month, I find myself thinking back on the year.  Can one word capture all that has transpired? I am able to list a string of descriptive adjectives easily tagged to these past 15 months.  But, is there just ONE word that can seize the highs and lows of this experience?

"Today I enjoy being clean and sober. So much to see, hear, taste, feel and smell. I missed out on plenty being drunk and high. Inside prison I stayed clean but it’s way better now that I’m out. A whole lot to see especially family and friends and so many places to go. Yes, I actually do have places to go now. I soak it up like a sponge."
