Can We Achieve Peace?

Peace on Earth can sound like a distant dream — a virtuous vision, often spoken about yet not always believed possible within our lifetime.

Why Do I Sometimes Feel Like I Am Back Where I Started?

The healing journey isn’t linear, which means that sometimes when we heal, we move forward and sometimes it may appear we are back where we started or going over old ground. As we move through the healing journey, we may open up old wounds, and parts of self that are ready to heal. This can feel uncomfortable, but it doesn’t mean we are going backward.
