ACCEPTANCE of Self      Each month, I will be taking a particular virtue and break it down into small life lessons for you. Implementing these virtues into your life will have an amazing affect on you, your consciousness, your health, your spirituality. This first week, I will be blogging about acceptance. Acceptance is the action or process of being received as adequate or suitable. I’d like to go one step further and say that you have kind of...

Acceptance of Others         This week in the Living the Virtues Series is Acceptance of Others. Last week I wrote about accepting yourself. If you would like to read that blog post, click here.
