Join your hosts Genay Peavey and Susan Sanders as they dive into conscious contact in the workplace! No matter if you are in corporate America or a stay at home mom, your job is going to require you to interact with people at some point, and inevitably their will be disconnect.

Acceptance Prayer:
Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today.
When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing or situation - some fact of my life - unacceptable to me.
I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens in God’s world by mistake.
Until I could accept my alcoholism, I could not stay sober; unless I accept life completely on life’s terms, I cannot be happy.
I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as on what needs to be changed in me and my attitudes.
- Alcoholics Anonymous (Big Book), 4th Edition, P. 417
