"It's not a crisis. It's a crossroads."
Since the start of the recession, 8.8 million jobs have been lost, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. I was one of those 8.8 million people. In 2009, I was laid off a research project due to funding being suspended. Between 2007 and 2014, I was also one of 7.3 million homeowners who lost a home to foreclosure
Some affected by job loss and foreclosure, due to the economic downturn, were able to bounce back relatively emotionally unscathed. Many, however, internalized the outer events as a negative reflection of their personal capacities without taking a deeper look at the crisis as a potential underlying catalyst.

"What Bridgitte reminds us is that it is so important to continue the work that is ours to do, to push on, to be relentless, to be unfailingly loyal to ourselves and our higher being. She teaches that following our way requires persistence, repetition and devotion. That being inspired and being fired by the passion within us is what is required to consistently apply the tools that we have, to gain our own level of enlightenment, our own bliss. Often self-help books try to tell us that we can do the work in a very easy way and get results instantly. What Bridgitte shows us is that it is not necessarily that the way itself that is difficult, but that we must be persistent in our practices, and this is what requires effort - ongoing and repeated effort."
