forgiveness, unlike denial, requires we notice and fully acknowledge our burden before we choose to let it go

forgiveness takes courage, sometimes great courage, to face our hurt and discomfort while not requiring repayment of the ‘debt’ we feel is owed us by the other

forgiving ourselves is the kindest thing we can do for everyone else

forgiveness is releasing ourselves from bondage to the past, to another and to our pain and resentment

forgiveness unblocks LOVE
