I share what I do while in self-preservation mode, and how I get back into a space where I can feel the full spectrum of my emotions--without it consuming me. And of course, we talk about mothers and what that means to me as an adoptee this Mother's Day weekend. 

Material:
Poem by William Butler Yeats "Heaven's Embroidered Cloths"
