Inspiration

For many years, I was terrified to forgive the unforgivable. I thought that if I forgave great atrocities, I would be hurt again. The old adage "forgive and heal" didn't work for me. Once I turned it around to "heal and forgive," forgiveness became a viable opportunity. As a student of forgiveness performing the hard work "down in the trenches," I couldn't NOT share what I learned. I wasn't looking to become a writer - writing found me.
