Not forgiving puts us in a hole -like the one I’m in now! Forgiveness can happen in an instant, as it did for me after I shared the story of my sexual assault with a friend.
In contrast, it took over 20 years to forgive a family member who tortured me as a kid. Time, space, prayer and an unusual ceremony run by Tibetan Buddhist nuns all helped. Once anxious at the mere thought of her, now I see her as another human being just doing the best she can. Plus, she’s hilarious.
This hole I’m in now? I’m tired of the frustration and disappointment of wanting a person  to be different from what they are. I long to redirect all that energy towards my mission - to help people along their own transformational journey of body, mind and spirit. I want to let it go because to live my full potential, I must forgive.
And that goes for all of us.
Are you ready to get out of the hole?
