So years ago around Covid, we had this survivor come into the group. She was clearly Type “A” powerful executive and used to the business world bending to her will, but the business of divorce was not going to yield….

Long story short she just had to have her divorce go a very specific way, which include included a very quick resolution.

That’s not how it works.

As a matter of fact, one of the greatest spiritual paradoxes is…..

“If you want something, you can’t have it…

but the second you give it up….. all of what you wanted and more is yours….”

Three years went by and this person never got even a little bit better….

and then the physical symptoms started to: weight loss, hair loss, etc… and then she disappeared and quit coming to group.

About a year later, this executive show showed up with the biggest smile on their face while we were in our Zoom meeting, and I noticed immediately so I called on her to give us all an update on the healing process.

With a huge smile and a cheery voice, she explained that she was so much better because she had learned the art of radical acceptance.

It was these EXACT exercises that saved her….
