[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 751050, member: 23706"] I prefer physical books so I can use a highlighter and bookmarks and throw them in my rather large purse for easy reference. I like both Tara Brach AND Marsha Lineman and have read both. I would start can't though Iwith Marsha. Can't say I never flounder, but I recover FAST when Kay acts like Kay and when I don't like what is happening in general. I have gained calmness by accepting with peace of mind what is. Accepting reality radically really helps my husband and me stop trying to change/control what is. Kay's friend calling me required me to go back to the drawing board and read my highlighted passages. As soon as I did, I was able to take deep breaths, a calming nature walk, and to let it go. I may not like that Kay planned to guilt us, but in fact it happened. She did. No excuses. It is what it is. I remembered to accept Kay, all of her. Not the Kay I wish she were, but Kay as she is right now. The no frills Kay. I accept the reality of now and my daughter as she really is, and these things calm me to my bones. I don't scream in my head,"No, no, no! Deep inside Kay is really a good person! I just need to wait until she shows me!" The truth is, what she shows me is the truth about who she is. Radical. Acceptance. I accept therefore I can breathe and be calm. I am not fighting the truth vs. my own wishful thinking. This weekend my husband and are plan a nice little getaway and both of us are in acceptance mode. God bless. [/QUOTE]
