Featured Article: The Best Audiobooks to Get You Through a Breakup


The end of a relationship can be one of the most emotionally devastating things a person can go through, whether it’s on mutual, amicable terms or not. There are countless songs, poems, and films about breakups and heartbreak because it's an undeniably universal human experience. The silver lining? Precisely because this experience is so universal, there are no shortage of people to turn to for help and advice on how to weather the worst of it.

A Quote by Pema Chödrön

When we are training in the art of peace, we are not given any promises that, because of our noble intentions, everything will be ok. In fact, there are no promises of fruition at all. Instead, we are encouraged to simply look deeply at joy and sorrow, at laughing and crying, at hoping and fearing, at all that lives and dies. We learn that what truly heals is gratitude and tenderness.
