"I am drawn to the beach. I am usually inspired by the power of the waves, the openness of the space, and the magnificence of nature.
Today, though, I walked the beach listening to a workshop on trauma. I found my gaze focused downward, noticing only the mangled, broken skeletons of sea creatures scattered across the sand.
As I reflected on the change in my attitude, I was reminded how much perspective matters."
If you are looking for a shift in your perspective, JBCS is here for you.
