My work is about how people and organizations learn to be happier and more at peace no matter what happens in life. Not getting what we want, and getting what we don’t want, are inevitable. Conflict is a good path to growth and creativity, and hardships can lead to strength and resilience. Rachel Remen, M.D. says it beautifully: “In the depth of every wound we have survived is the strength we need to live. The wisdom our wounds can offer us is a place of refuge. Finding this is not for the faint of heart. But then, neither is life.” My Grandfather’s Blessings, page 138. This blog is about my experiences using restorative justice for healing and finding more meaning in life.
