radical compassion
So often I find we offer compassion freely to others, yet overlook how we might benefits from receiving compassion from ourselves. Meditation expert Tara Brach offers down to earth guidance on self-compassion and softening our inner critic.
the best we could do
A gripping graphic novel that delves into the nuanced experiences of intergenerational trauma, family dynamics, and forced immigration. This is a heavy, but powerful read that I strongly suggest to anyone looking to better understand immigrant families, the Vietnam war and it’s impact on Vietnamese people, the journey to finding one’s own cultural self.
