THE BLESSINGS IN FORGIVING

  • Hello Kimberly and all,

    Here is perhaps another way of looking at the light and dark within ourselves, as we enter and express forgiveness.

    In forgiveness, we release the bonds of judgement held by our emotionally undeveloped child self (caught in blame and the emotions of fear/anger/grief), as well as the confusion of our ignorance and imprisonment our adult self suffers, from not awakening and honoring and healing the child self. Forgiveness allows these two inner selves to connect to each other, and through compassion, an inner felt sense of unconditional love begins to grow. This is the healing we are all challenged with and why our relationships with others are such powerful mirrors for us.

    I am awakening in Crystal River, FL this morning, on the Western FL coast, about 90 minutes north of Tampa.

    More soon! - Howard
