I am new to this group. I am chairing a meeting tonight and was wondering if anyone could direct me to information about - acceptance. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in Advance. Mary
Welcome to MIP, glad to have you here. Acceptance is a really hard thing for me next to detatchment. It takes time, patience, pain, and a lot of understanding for acceptance.. I struggle big time with this, especially in relationships....
The daily readers, "One day at a time", "Courage to change" & "Hope for today" all have acceptance in their index at the back of the books....
Sometimes at our face to face meetings we either read a page or comment on the topic...
Go around the room and get experience, strength and hope from them...
Hope this helps you in some way...
Good luck chairing, and well done for having the courage to do it..
Welcome to MIP - so glad you joined our family, also congrats on chairing a meeting - that's awesome.
Acceptance is an awesome topic. Courage to Change pg 256 - talks about Acceptance not meaning that we condone the situation, just accept that It is what it is. Really good stuff.
enjoy your meeting,
Rita
