From our Director/ Master Teacher

I Can't. I Just Can't.
I feel truly blessed to work with so many amazing people every week. My journey has brought me into the lives of thousands of individuals, each with their own stories, challenges, and triumphs. And yes, like any path worth walking, it's not without its bumps. People can be rude; they can take what I do for granted. It happened twice last week. But that’s part of the territory, and I’ve accepted it. I continue on this journey because I know that my calling in life is to teach and to love. That’s my mission. It’s my gift.
When I reflect on this, I feel deeply grateful to be able to support others, to help them grow stronger, wiser, and a little happier after our time together. That’s what drives me. But there are days—weeks, even—when the weight is heavier, when the emotional landscape is more challenging. This is one of those times.
The aftermath of the recent hurricane has made this time especially difficult. Seeing the devastation, the loss, and the uncertainty that people I care about are facing—it hits me deeply. When people I care about are hurting, I hurt too. I don’t sleep well, just as I know they don’t sleep well. I spend my time praying, thinking, and worrying. My heart is with them in their struggles.
I’m not perfect. I’ve got plenty of flaws—a long list, honestly. But if there's one thing I know I’m good at, it's getting things done. So if there’s someone you love out there who needs a helping hand, let me know. Let me help. Because that’s what I want to do, more than anything. And if there’s nothing else I can do, I’ll just keep praying.
To all of you: I love you, and I’m here.
