Forgiveness isn’t a panacea. I can’t promise you that if you release your resentments and shame in favor of compassion and empathy you’ll never again be hurt or hurt another. Life is messy and unpredictable. But, I can promise that freeing yourself from the judgments and illusions of the past will allow you to be more present in your life, and if you choose, more loving. The only question is, are you willing to do the work? Are you willing to accept that your contribution to the world around you matters? My hope is that my story of healing and forgiveness will inspire you to embark on your own journey of self-discovery. So, if you’re willing, I look forward to taking this journey with you.
