Our own disease or distress can have meaning and be a kind of medicine that can help us better understand ourselves and what we have gone through.

We all lose when someone has to spend all of their time, energy, and personal resources on coping with scarcity.

Feeling the incredible hopelessness of doing all the right things and knowing that it’s not enough; that you need to find the courage and strength within yourself to take the journey of healing.

As you listen to this, take a breath and let it into your soul. A woman who is articulate and clear about her vision of a community where it holds individuals’ struggles. Listen to the dream.

From the dining room table to a support group to an AA meeting, sitting and saying hello and goodbye to each other to bring comfort, growth, and ‘magic moments’ to our lives.

An exploration of heart-centered therapy and how to hold people with great integrity while also caring for yourself.
