Be nice to others. Be nice to your Self.

Ms. Amy Steinberg told me, along with a room full of other good folks, that "You are your own worst critic! Go easy on yourself!"
She's a pretty smart lady.

Although wishing to be rid of misery,
They run toward misery itself.
Although wishing to have happiness,
Like an enemy they ignorantly destroy it.

-Santideva, "Bodhicaryavatara"

I pray for all of us, oppressor and friend, that together we may succeed in building a better world through human understanding and love, and that in doing so we may reduce the pain and suffering of all sentient beings.

-His Holiness the Dalai Lama
