Our Journey

As an NYC worker, I once struggled with anxiety, fearing pausing meant falling behind. I mistook self-hatred for "motivation"—until Tibetan Buddhist ideas and handcrafted pieces taught me self-kindness.

Buddhist-symboled reminders (e.g., "stay grounded," "attachments are fleeting") eased my inner chaos: I used simple breathing, stopped overworking, and felt warmth in Tibetan craftsmanship—no heavy practice, just daily self-acceptance.

Now, I don’t push with self-criticism; pausing fuels me. If stress makes you self-deny, try small Buddhist tips: no esoteric stuff—just remembering "root like a tree to grow" helps you reconcile with yourself.
