Feeling burnt out by her job as a designer,\u00a0\u201cI started wanting something more. I still believed that design was inherently good\u2026I wanted to apply it to help solve big problems.\u201d Bravely, she quit her day job and embraced the unknown, trusting that her path would become clear.

About CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) and Social Activism
\nAs you may know, CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is a center for the teaching and practice of A Course in Miracles (ACIM). Many people see the Course as being solely about changing the mind rather than behavior, about finding peace in one\u2019s own mind by accepting external circumstances (as being unimportant, indeed unreal) rather than trying to change them. However, the Course also says (in an earlier edition) that once your mind returns to love,\u00a0
\nYou now share my inability to tolerate the lack of love in yourself and in everyone else, and must join the Great Crusade to correct it. The slogan for this Crusade is \u2018Listen, Learn, and Do.\u2019 This means Listen to My Voice, Learn to undo the error, and do something to correct it. The first two are not enough. The real members of my party are active workers. \u2014 A Course in Miracles Urtext (T-1.26).
\nTherefore, we at CRS actively support all forms of social action that are motivated by love and the goal of undoing the obstacles to love in the world. That starts with changing our own minds by returning our own thoughts to love and then spreads when we help others to do the same.<\/p>\n
