Forgiveness is a powerful word but more powerful when practiced. It’s not limited to just forgiving others; we really must practice forgiving ourselves – all day long. There are so many should have thoughts and self judgements that course through our minds and pelt us with…
My childhood memories are either gone or buried deep for self-preservation. I cannot recall what I felt like at age seven as I learned to ride a bike. No memories of Christmas mornings or the anticipation of gifts I didn’t get for milestone birthdays. The…
