Women Like Me: Healing and Acceptance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781990639098)

"Understanding is the first step to acceptance, and only with acceptance can there be recovery." J.K. Rowling

We're taught that acceptance is important if you want to get along with people and have good relationships. But are you aware that acceptance is vital to your happiness?

If you're struggling to accept a person or a current/past situation, then you may want to recognize this as a possible 'red flag.' Usually, we are accepting of it all without much stress. However, if you are seriously struggling to accept something, it could be a signal that you have a problem, either in your mindset or your attitude. Are you holding onto a situation? Possibly, your thoughts are too negative, or you are not seeing things clearly.

Regardless of why you may be doing it, if you are doing it, you should get to work to remove the negative mindset that could be holding you back. You will feel so much better about yourself and your life if you work on acceptance. Now, don't get your back up about what I'm saying here. Acceptance can be similar to forgiveness in terms of someone who hurt you or did you wrong. Forgiveness is not saying it is okay, but it is forgiving so that you can move forward with your life. You are accepting that someone wronged you; that's it. With this realization, it will be easier to leave that past where it belongs
behind you.

Acceptance is like that. Your acceptance of your past. You can't change it. You accept it, learn from what happened, and move on. Never stay stuck!

Nine brave women share their personal stories in Volume Six of Women Like Me. All have experienced trauma in their lives. And all have reached a level of healing and acceptance.

• Anna walking to church, was attacked by a stranger and almost died.
• Katherine had no choice but to courageously ask for help and to get out of an abusive situation.
• Emily did everything she could but decided to walk away to protect herself and her children.
• Lisa explains about growing up and not knowing why she felt crazy.
• June tells the story of her mother growing up in the residential school system.
• Tessa endured years of abuse but broke the chains of generational trauma.
• Katelin was abandoned by her mother at a young age, suffered greatly but found forgiveness.
• Guelda fought for her son's life; his diagnosis of schizophrenia saved him.
• Noella looks back on her life growing up and says she's amazed she didn't kill herself.

These women are women like you and me who want the best for themselves and those they love. Healing and acceptance helped them be able to write their stories for you and share their important life lessons in this book.

If their stories can help just one person to overcome, then that one person can help someone, and the chain of healing and acceptance can grow.
