How the words we use and the way that we use them creates separation, from each other and from our planet. The morning after watching this documentary, I was going about my usual morning getting ready activities and listening […]
In last month's newsletter, I wrote to our readers about forgiveness, particularly forgiveness of self. In today's blog I want to share some thoughts on the forgiveness of others, because this of course is important too. I've experienced pain...betrayal, bullying, bitchiness, various "-isms" and just plain rude uncalled for behaviour. As I experienced the pain […]
