I hope you all had a nice weekend. In my last newsletter I shared the message about being a river, not a container.  That concept continued for me this past week as I shared a story that one of my teachers, Jack Kornfield, tells from his time as a buddhist monk. One day he was…

I hope you all had a nice long weekend and a wonderful Easter to those who celebrate. Last week a friend of mine was sharing a revelation she had regarding the chance to free herself of trauma that she had been holding onto. She said “I am a river, not a container”.What she meant by…
