Today’s forgiving journal is about the courage to forgive. I did a forgiveness video today with simple tips to forgive when we REALLY don’t want to forgive. That made me think, What is it that I don’t want to forgive? If I’m doing this forgiving work … if I’m really walking my talk … More Today’s forgiving journal: The Courage to Forgive

I could write a lot more, and that’s really what it boils down to. My spiritual mentor John-Roger once asked me (as … More Today’s forgiving journal: Getting free
Today’s forgiving journal is about giving myself some space. I’ve lived a lot of my life on a very tight rope. Like, it’s not ok to make mistakes, it’s not ok to take a misstep, and it’s certainly not acceptable to allow anyone else to see any of this. And this has brought me into … More Today’s forgiving journal: Giving myself some space
Today’s forgiving journal is about reawakening to joy. Earlier this morning, I participated in a “forgiving circle” with beautiful people from all over the world. There were 5 of us, and it was the first forgiving circle we’ve had. One of the questions we shared about at the beginning was simply, “What’s present?” I was … More Today’s forgiving journal: Reawakening to joy
