Kimberly Franklin There are many things we want in life including basic needs entwined with grand dreams outside of our own capabilities. One of these desires that tends to be overlooked, but imperative to living life eternal, is forgiveness. There is so much growth in understanding the act of forgiveness. It is one of the⦠Read More
Russ Woolley Throughout my life, I have considered myself to be a person who understands the practice and benefits of forgiveness. I will say, however, that perhaps at times my motives were not always clean and perhaps even confusing to myself and possibly those I forgave. I think that the true act of forgiveness might⦠Read More
Sean Gruver To be honest, when I first started to think about forgiveness, my initial thoughts focused on choice. As in when I am faced with a circumstance when forgiveness is possible, the decision to forgive or not is my choice. In my mind, forgiveness was an option, not necessarily the only path forward.

Sure, there’s things I maybe would have done differently, but where things now stand is where they stand. For example, I didn’t get married until my third⦠Read More
Kathryn Carroll Perhaps I’ve lived a charmed life. Perhaps I’m the queen of denial. Perhaps I’ve been hard and soft wired to never play the victim, much less be one. You see, I think that I have been in the position of granting forgiveness much more often than needing to be forgiven. Ha! And if⦠Read More
Nahal Hale I have been going to a self-evolvement course called Avatar since October of 1998. My daughters Haley and Sydne were 4 and 2 at the time. I loved the course and gained so much from it that I became a trained Avatar Teacher. Not only was I helping others, but it was also⦠Read More
Jacquelyn Rebekka Bonner Whenever I despair, I remember that the way of truth and love has always won. There may be tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they may seem invincible, but in the end, they always fail. Think of it: always. – Gandhi As a former human rights attorney, I’ve never advocated for⦠Read More
