The Power of Human Connection

In October, I was able to experience a joyous and long-awaited occasion - a three-day in-person retreat.

As the days get shorter and people tend to go into hibernation mode, there is a risk that the loneliness people already feel will be exacerbated and raised to new levels. I ask you to join me in combatting loneliness by being a “reach out warrior.”

How Can I Move On From My Abusive Ex and Not Be Scared Anymore?

I just left my boyfriend after 5 years because he was being physically abusive. I have a restraining order in place, but I am scared because I know we still live in the same city and I fear I might run into him or he may still try to hurt me.
