it went very well!
You! You are so nice.
almost thought I missed it when I tuned in at 8:10. with a little patience saw interview. very nice… may you be happy!
You did so well! I was nervous for you! Your dress was beautiful, as were you. I could feel the kindness coming off you, maybe that’s just the wisdom in your voice.
Well done–and your outfit is lovely.
Thank you, Rev. Danny!

You did fantastic, Susan – and I love the dress 🙂
Nicely done! Hate that the interviewer doesn’t do her prep (re: last name), but you were excellent! It’s nice to see an expert doing something authentically. It looks like you are just sitting there talking to a friend. I’m proud of you.

Thanks, Chris. Sorry I’ll miss you in Vancouver in Feb– Have fun in the sun!
Content was great, explored with heart. Cool outfit, and super hair!
That dress is fabulous! You did great – congratulations! Now I really can’t wait to read the book!
I just read this book. I am currently going through having a broken heart and the book was the only thing I have ever seen that put this process into any meaningful greater life purpose. Even though I am devastated after five months, I feel like I may possibly come out of this as a more compassionate and loving person; reading that you have been through the dark night of the soul and what that entails also was comforting. Thank you for writing the book. The clip from the show looks great.
Ana, I wish you the very best. Sending strength and peace–
I just finished the book and am beginning to re-read it with some friends. We’re forming a little study group together. Very exciting!
Personally, it’s been 2 years since my break-up and I’m still finding the book VERY helpful. It helped me realize that, although I’ve moved through much of the broken-heart-process since then, certain aspects of the relationship and break-up were being held in kind of state of suspended animation! The book really helped me see those frozen places inside of me and gave me the tools and courage to face them now with compassion and love.
Susan, I also think you’re doing a fantastic job in the media. I know it must be somewhat difficult for you to hold your ‘seat’ while putting this tender and wise point of view out there for all the world to see and react to. For me, this part of your work is just as inspiring as the book itself!!
Robert, this is awesome!!! I’m completely thrilled that you planned a little study group. If I can be helpful, please let me know. And I’d love it if you’d keep me posted about how it goes.
It means a lot to know that the book has been helpful and that you’re connecting with your ability to feel compassion and love.
Wishing you the very very best–Susan
Susan, I thought the interview went quite well. You were specific, helpful and warm.
I hope I can attend your upcoming programMeditation & Creativity: A Writing Workshop
in Los Angeles.
Thank you so much, Bruce! Hope to see you in LA.
Just ordered the book; have been counting down the days since I saw it on Shambhala Mountain’s site. Wish it would have been out last year – but know it will be helpful on my path. Thank you.
Best of luck to you, Eli!
