My previous post began with the destruction of La Casa de Maria and the Center for Spiritual Renewal. For twenty years, I have made a self-pilgrimage to

The greatest renewable resource is human energy, the source of resiliency.
Eileen’s blend of inspiration, humor and content make her one of the most sought after female speakers in the country. She’s HUGE on customization. Check it out. As for resiliency, don’t BOUNCE back - grow forward. This is not about adversity but advantage. It is not about pain but possibility. Resiliency can be learned, cultivated, and practiced. And it can be done with vision, foresight, and joy.

range towering over Montecito, CA and offers views of the distant Channel Islands.
