...experience the power of forgiveness. say I forgive you, and mean it. forgive everyone who ever wronged you. forgive him for breaking your heart. forgive her for telling everyone your deepest secret. forgive them both. stop holding grudges, and forgive. forgive yourself for being human, for not knowing all the answers all the time. once and for all, for the sake of your own sanity, forgive. let the sweet and simple rain of forgiveness wash over you. as for forgiveness, offer forgiveness. somewhere, find the inner depth to forgive the man who raped, to forgive the woman who killed, to forgive the friend who betrayed a loving trust. for life, for love, for peace forever; for you, for them, forgive.
--rachel snyder's 365 Words of Well-Being for Women
granting forgiveness to others or more importantly...to yourself...is simply freedom.
the freedom to live again, to love again, to love yourself again. one doesn't even have to let the other person know, or if the other person has passed on...its okay. but yes, you must mean it...for the universe always knows the truth...so does your heart. not forgiving gives the other party power...so now is the time to take it back...and let that shit go...love self, forgive self, forgive them....breathe again(my .02 cents)

thank you ma'am, i love me some rachel snyder! (and some shelle of course)
It is always interesting that it seems easier to forgive others than yourself. Im learning more and more, that I'm gonna jack stuff up, and as long as my intentions are not malice, I work to fix whats wrong and take responsibility for me parts, it's getting a little easier. We are always our own worst critic.
I also think when we cant forgive others...its because we arent able or ready to face the work we have to do to be able to let go. That isnt a judgement good or bad, just part of figuring "it" all.
Much needed! Thank you.
Miss you much and hearts curve
