Radical Acceptance: Embracing Your Life with the Heart of a Buddha.

Happiness lies not in finding what is missing, but in finding what is present.

Stopping the endless pursuit of getting somewhere else is the perhaps most beautiful offering we can make to our spirit.

We can find true refuge within our own hearts and minds-right here, right now, in the midst of our moment-to-momen t lives.

On this sacred path of Radical Acceptance, rather than striving for perfection, we discover how to love ourselves into wholeness.

There are some things we can't choose, but in being present we can choose how we want to relate to them

Radical Acceptance is the willingness to experience ourselves and our lives as it is.

The most powerful healing arises from the simple intention to love the life within you, unconditionally, with as much tenderness and presence as possible.

My own personal experience has become more first-hand.
