Focal Points Therapy

In honor of my upcoming grief AND healing milestone and my ongoing passion for supporting other women living without moms, I'm launching a 7 session online peer support group FOR US. Beginning in November and ending in January, this group will cover the tender time of autumn, Thanksgiving, December holidays, and New Year's, all of which hold so many triggers around being without our moms. Take time to nurture yourself and connect with your mom and your community.

With so much that is challenging in the world right now, I want to share Howard Zinn's take on hope, which is not only indispensable, but grounded in reality--lest we feel like Pollyanas or guilty privileged people to let it in.

"To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.

What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places—and there are so many—where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.

And if we do act, in however small a way, we don't have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory."
