Marian P. – Unity Day 2013

Marian P. shared about how Unity Day came about. Sometime in the past, members were discussing, possibly arguing, matters having to do with OA. Someone thought that focusing on what we had in common, rather than our differences might be more beneficial to OA as a whole. Out of this Unity Day was created in 1986. She also enlightened us with the idea of “suspending judgment” for say, just one hour. She pointed out how this can be an effective tool to keep in mind, when attending a meeting or during a stressful situation. She found that as a result, it had a profound impact on her perspective, as well as what she took away from either.
