Today’s forgiving journal: Nurturing love

Today’s forgiving journal is about nurturing love. I spent a lot of my life hating my body.  I had anorexia, and bulimia.  I overdrank and probably oversexed.  I’m admitting these things because sometimes it’s important to come clean. I’m surprised at how uncomfortable it is to write all of this down, as I’ve done a … More Today’s forgiving journal: Nurturing love

Today’s forgiving journal: Not taking things so seriously

Today’s forgiving journal is about not taking things so seriously. Well, guess what? I took things way too seriously today!!

Today’s forgiving journal: Saying no to being self-critical

Today’s forgiveness blog is on saying no to being self-critical.   Earlier tonight, I was talking to someone who I deeply care about. He was just barraging himself with his own words.
