Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves.  It isn’t based on deserving, it is founded on the desire to wash clean our minds, emotions, lives.

Given the foundational principal that we are self responsible – completely accountable for all that we have experienced – it is to ourselves that we must offer the most important forgiveness.    Self responsibility opens us to the truth that all things we have experienced bear gifts, mirror our inner beliefs and feelings about ourselves, and balance our development of compassion.  This truth can carry us through processes of helplessness, blame, and anger  into acceptance, peace and strength.  Honesty, when coming from a place of love, guides us to ‘make right’ anything that involves other individuals.

Forgiveness is freedom.  Peace.

As you look within your life, allow any areas of un-forgiveness towards yourself or others to surface that it might be washed away. Ask to be shown peace.  You deserve it.
