Today’s forgiving journal is about speaking kindness. #Iforgive #chooselife
I just got back to NY yesterday, after two weeks of being with my spiritual family in Los Angeles. I’m sitting here in my apartment, and I know that it is very important for me to connect with myself. Because that is the first thing, isn’t it? When we’re not sure what’s next – what better step than to touch in to me.
I saved a graphic last week for this blog. It’s a bracelet that says “Speak kindness”. God, this is my intention with myself today, to speak kindness – starting with all those parts that need a little attention.
Time for forgiving:
1 – Self-forgiveness: I forgive myself for judging myself for wanting to turn away from myself when I feel uncomfortable or uncertain.
2 – Letting Go: I let go of all the times I did turn away from myself into the Light. I smile and say “IT IS SO OK! I LOVE MYSELF!”
3 – Gratitude: I am grateful to write in this journal right now. It is a safe space for me to turn to.

What’s present now:
I am experiencing a blank slate inside of me. I am excited to go to the Farmer’s market (it’s just up the block at Prospect Park each Saturday!). I am aware of kindness going to all the cells of my body – it’s cool, like there is a kindness canoe rowing through my blood vessels bestowing a caring touch.
I love you. Very nice to be back writing my blog. 🙂
Love,
Debbie

That was a nice read, Debbie – thanks for that. I tend to always end my comments in the same way and it seems particularly appropriate today.
Kindness – Robert. 🙂

Glad you’re settling in at home Debbie. (wish I could follow you to the Farmer Market at Prospect Park!!). And I do write down things to be grateful for in the mornings when I pray–in my little red book. I pulls me back to God who gives all. And I love you post idea–speaking kindness. Everyone we will talk to today, needs kind encouraging words. It’s on my mind for the day ahead. thank you.

while I am quick to speak kindly to others, I often forget that I should speak more gently to my own fine self. Thank you for the reminder.

Speaking kindness. I don’t remember the last time I came across encouragment towards self love. This is a beautiful post for how simple and straight forward it is. One of my main work with myself was forgiving and loving who and what I am.
You are blessed for the awareness and kindness. I am glad I came across your blog, it was worth it going to meet and greet! 🙂
Thanks,
Gal.
