Mar - Accept Yourself

 

Hello Normans,

 

In February, we celebrated love and diversity. Now we have the opportunity to redirect our focus inward and ponder the importance of fully embracing ourselves —both physically and psychologically— just as we are. Acceptance goes hand in hand with self-love, self-awareness, and self-respect. It means granting ourselves the grace to wholeheartedly embrace the person we are today while nurturing the potential for growth and development.

 

March is “Accept Yourself” month. 

Our motto for this month is "Self-Acceptance: Love Your Authentic Self." Please join us in our March Support programs.
