30 Days of Forgiveness 2015 - Day 1 - Heal the World!

-


"The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world." --Marianne Williamson

Welcome to Day 1! I am glad you have decided to join me for this round of 30 Days of Forgiveness. I am calling it "30 Days of Forgiveness 2015" in order to distinguish it from the previous thirty days held in January of 2014.

For this round I am going to keep it pretty simple. I am going to write one "forgiveness letter" each day and then do a releasing ritual.

Feel free to use any forgiveness technique that works for you and to mix it up and use a combination of all of them throughout the thirty days. Here are links to a few of my favorites:


If you have a favorite forgiveness ritual, I would love to hear about it in the comments or on our Facebook page.

And remember, if something comes up during the thirty days that feels too big to process or to go through on your own, please get some help. Call your local crisis line, find a counselor in your area or simply talk to a friend. Don't go it alone, help IS available!

Let the forgiveness begin!

Wisdom from Raul Julia

"...[L]ife itself is a meditation."  --Raul Julia I have always loved Raul Julia, since I first saw him as the sensitive married man having sexual tension with Susan Sarandon while solving a murder in "Compromising Positions" (the cast of which also included the always entertaining Judith Ivey - I love her voice and demeanor so much I think I could watch her in anything). He went on to play defense attorney Sandy Stern in "Presumed Innocent" and of course the beloved patriarch Gomez Addams in "The Addams Family."  His was one the first celebrity deaths - in 1994 - to really effect me. He always seemed to have an undefinably quiet strength and grace. I get it now - he saw his life as a meditation - and that makes all the difference.  I hope someday to be remembered for my quiet grace and thanks to Raul I have one more clue about how to do that. Thanks Raul. For everything.

Quote of the Week - May 21, 2012 - What happens for one...

“On this earth we are connected one to another....to another....to another....to another...to another....to another....to another...such that whatever happens to one of happens to all of us.” -- Anna Grossnickle Hines from her book, "Peaceful Pieces" This is a poem called "Dominoes" that my younger son's class read last week on Friday for " Poetry Aloud ." They read it together as a class, one child starting and each child in turn saying "to another," "to another," "to another..." As I listened, the poem came alive for me. The idea of the poem came alive for me. I saw once again that we are all connected, we are all One and that whatever happens for one of us happens to all of us. Did you notice the Freudian slip there? I wrote, "whatever happens for one of us happens to all of us,"  when what I meant to write was, "whatever happens to one of us happens to all of us." But both are equally tr

Every generation is a life-and-death struggle between wisdom and ignorance,  and there is no guarantees wisdom is going to win.  We have to try to be as human as we can be,  and as kind as we can be, and detach from our need for results.  -- Peter Coyote  ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ Be as human as you can be.
