Learning and Moving On: Forgiveness is Key

It has been months since I last posted and SO much has happened since then.  I've become a part of a wonderful community of AcroYoga people who have enriched my life immeasurably and are helping me heal.  My life is richer, but a new challenge awaits: forgiving those who started the PTSD wagon train.  I've sent friend requests to the two women who triggered the initial trauma.  Please pray for me and them.  I want to tell them I have forgiven them.  Only time will tell if they will let me.

But you know what?  Even if they don't respond, I can still forgive them.  And the scarier task of finding and friending the ring leader of my sixth grade nightmare lies ahead.  Please pray for me that I might approach all three with true forgiveness.

When we don't forgive, it is like a stone on our heart.  Each unforgiven instance has weight.  Release yourself from that weight by forgiving.  It helps and your heart becomes lighter with each forgiveness.
