Primary Blog - Acceptance
Throughout the last six months, we have all had to experience change that none of us could ever have imagined. This huge shift has meant that the defining boundaries between the different areas in our lives and our relationships have been scrambled and we have been presented with many challenges.

When life is not exactly as we want it to be, it can be helpful to turn our minds towards acceptance.
