A Story on Perspective...

By Dr. Jacqueline Baer

"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.
