    Many students were unimpressed with this speech which to many of them seemed like she considered herself a big wave and them small waves. Also, when her daughter arrived at Stanford, she was assigned a roomate. She told Stanford that was UNACCEPTABLE. Stanford forced her ROOMATE out of the room. This is what this "big wave" family is about.

    Beautifully said... we constantly facing transitions...love your analogy of the small wave...and the big wave return each of us to our essential selves....reminds me very much of Neale Donald Walsh's account of Little Soul and Big Soul which reminded us of the role that we play in each others lives and our interconnectedness...on a soul.level...thank you 🙏

    I came here hoping to learn that you not only left your evildoing ex-husband but also reject all of the evils with which he’s associated… but instead, I heard this dumpster fire of a speech laced with evils, idiocy and word salad. I can only assume from it that your Catholic formation was horrible. While you still have time, learn Catholic *orthodoxy* and turn from evil. ✝️
