Forgiveness
Sunday, November 23rd, 2008Healing from trauma has been a lifelong endeavor. Writing a book did not resolve my emotional issues nor did it provide me with a sense of justice. It did require me to work through the past so that I could let it go and it taught me that life is truly fair and just all on its own. Forgiveness was the first step for me many years before I attempted to write my story down. I discovered through writing the necessity to forgive and be forgiven and it is my daily practice. Healing too is a practice. It is my willingness to surrender to each and every momentof my life. To heal there must be gratitude and if there is to be gratitude there must first be forgiveness. It is only by the grace of forgiveness that I have found joy, love and peace.
