I know that a lot of you read the title and asked yourself the question, “What does she mean I’m worried about the wrong shit?” The first time someone ever said that to me I was floored. Like, what do you mean? I asked a question that I wanted an answer to. Why didn’t he just answer the question I asked instead of trying to tell me what to do? It took me about 24-48 hours to process what happened and why it happened but when I did, I realized the information that I wanted wasn’t relative to the situation I was in at the time. I was asking questions that quite frankly were none of my business due to the decisions that I’d made regarding this person and what type of relationship I was willing to be involved in. Now, could he have answered my question? Yes. Should he have? Absolutely not. So much is made of people saying one thing and then exhibiting another that clarity and comprehension is key!

In the journey of healing through forgiveness, we discover the profound truth that forgiveness is not synonymous with condoning or forgetting. Instead, it is a conscious choice to release the hold that past transgressions have on our present lives. By acknowledging our pain and choosing to forgive, we reclaim our power and reclaim control over our narrative. Furthermore, forgiveness cultivates empathy and fosters connections, allowing us to cultivate deeper, more authentic relationships with others. As we extend forgiveness to ourselves and to those who have wronged us, we unlock the transformative power of healing, ushering in a newfound sense of freedom, resilience, and inner peace. In embracing forgiveness, we embark on a journey of profound self-discovery and spiritual growth, embracing the inherent beauty of our shared humanity.

Never forget, forgiveness is not only for the only person. It’s also FOR YOU!

This guide discusses the steps to coping with disappointment from others and how to go about forgive them and move forward. FYI, all forgiveness isn’t preceded by an apology. Together we will explore how to forgive even when our forgiveness isn’t requested. Through acceptance, growth and release we can forgive. Let’s get started!
