Self-love is one of the most important things in life. Believing in our hearts that we are enough just as we are is the key to a fulfilled life. Instead of waiting around for someone to bring us flowers, we should learn to plant our own garden and decorate our souls.
The climate crisis affects every living being on this earth. We face a real need for greater global responsibility based on a sense of the oneness of humanity. If we fail to act, it is the children and grandchildren of today who will really suffer. For them we must act together.

Something I see often in therapy: People say they *want* change, but they stay on their current path. We want to take action — to leave the job, set the boundary, end the relationship, start something new. But then we freeze, delay responding, or just talk ourselves out of the…
