Excerpt: "But what I am noticing as I am becoming more and more present with my body in this moment — not the simulated moment — is that I am at ease, at peace.

I really do have the right response to every situation.

My loved one has the right response to every situation.

Life is only unbearable when we demand it change.

We can be with this situation in a wise and dignified and whole way.

And our ability to be with this life situation has nothing to do with what is actually happening or what we would like to happen.

We can be with life.

We can continue to move forward with kindness and grace for ourselves and others.

We can move forward with wisdom and truth, trusting our voice and using it to advocate for what we want and need.

We can set boundaries and hold them fast, knowing we are safe and secure with ourselves.

We can honor every feeling that we have, we can work with thoughts and beliefs, we can watch the rise and fall of sensations.

We can meet this situation with grace, love, and truth."
