Hello, crazy traffic as we get closer to the Christmas holiday, stay safe out there and please remain calmer in traffic than this over tired driver did today. Here is today’s quote and thoughts.

December 23

“We must let ourselves feel all the painful destruction we want to forgive rather than swallow it in denial. If we do not face it, we cannot choose to forgive it.”

- Kenneth McNoll

Comment: Forgiveness releases the energy that holds us hostage, these energies are often centered around a betrayal or trauma of some sort. The curious thing is that people often think forgiving is the same as saying that what happened was acceptable, that is not true. Rarely does forgiveness impact the transgressor, but does release the forgiver from the hold that the transgressor has had on us. Forgiveness is powerful work. As we learn to forgive, we find it releases more energy within us. When we learn to forgive ourselves, there is that release again. The more one practices forgiveness the better one gets at forgiving. And forgiveness frees up so much energy to pursue our interests, and create more joy in our lives. Blessings all♥️
