Hello!

I’m always correcting people who thank me for helping them to forgive. It’s one thing to be thanked for saying something that resonated or gets a person to think about things a different way…that I’ll take. But, when a person decides to forgive, it’s because they wanted to; on some level they were ready. I take no credit for what you are ready to do.

No one can make you ready if you’re not and when you’re ready, truly ready, no one can stop you.

Here are five ways to know when you’re ready to forgive someone or release some baggage you’ve been carrying.

1)      You think of the person or the thing and you don’t cringe; instead you reflect on   the lesson learned (and you’re able to apply it to your life)

2)      You can speak with the person or about the incident with a even and light spirit – there might be some nervousness but nothing negative

3)      You’re able to pray for the person and wish them well

4)      There is no blame in your heart  – for the person or yourself

5)      You use the incident or experience as a way to help others

If any one of these is not possible as yet but others are, you’re on your way: Keep going, the rest will follow.

And remember, don’t give credit where it is not due. 

Wishing you an abundant of love, peace and light.
