Today’s forgiving journal is about shining my light no matter what.
In the past few days, I judged myself a lot. There were a number of situations where I felt left out and less important than everyone else, like who I was and what I had to say was not interesting and just plain stupid.
What I am deeply aware of is that I have a choice whether to buy into that voice, or to let it go and open to something more compassionate and kind and wise.
The truth is that I am beautiful, and that I am a Light unto this world. God this is a really hard blog to write, like each word is painful.
Time for forgiving:
1 – Self-forgiveness: I forgive myself for judging myself for feeling left out. I forgive myself for judging myself as selfish, self-centered and unimportant. I forgive myself for judging myself as stupid.
2 – Letting go: I let these judgments go into the Light. So that I am clearer to see what is true, about me and everyone around me.
3 – Gratitude: I am so grateful for calling myself on my stories. And for my courage to choose a more loving approach with myself.

For some reason, moving back to LA has resurfaced this old pattern of not belonging. I am committed to loving myself through it no matter what.
And I am not alone. There is a huge spiritual family who are here to remind me that I am supported every step of the way. God thank you everyone.
I love you. Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah – so many blessings to all.
Love,
Debbie
ps – this post is my contribution to Dutch Goes the Photo challenge for this week, “Lights” that fill us with comfort and joy. Frank, I’m claiming that I am the Light – and so are us all!
Hope you had a wonderful day!

I went to a talk in forgiving..she said if things resurface she said inner work needs doing and she said be thankful for the opportunity to clear it and the ability to recognise
And you feel so light after clearing it..it might take a while . It is an opportunity to clear as you are stronger now to clear it. Hope that makes sense

And sometimes these things are silly childhood tapes..or young adult tapes that just need resolution once and for all…

I’ve been struggling with this in a specific group of peers. So I get it. But you, my friend, are anything but plain or stupid or just plain stupid.
