Forgiveness for me is a word that I have always struggled with and I know that there is a lot of belief that to forgive others who have caused you pain and trauma, you will essentially heal yourself. I have found that whilst some words or healing works for some this way it is not for me. I believe that it’s important to embrace that everyone’s journey is different and what works for some does not work for others.
I am grateful for the understanding that I came into this world with a clear purpose and mission and in order to do this I needed to learn the hardest of lessons and go through the darkest of times. I am grateful for all of the people who came into my life in this journey to help me with this task even though I couldn’t see the reason at the time. I can be grateful that looking back in reflection I have been able to understand that everything had to happen to reach where I am today. Whilst I can appreciate and be grateful for that experience the people in my past were there to complete my journey but will stay in my past and not be in my future because they have served their purpose and that mission is completed.
I also know that I don’t want to have to repeat the mistakes of the past and must go through more life lessons because I have slipped back into allowing others to treat me any less than I absolutely deserve. So whilst I am not forgiving I am understanding of everything that has happened had a purpose for me to learn the lessons of my lifetime to be able to leave a legacy for my children and also to help others in the healing of trauma by sharing my story and my insight so that they may find some compassion and gratitude in them to live their best life possible.
To the universe and the divine and I am very grateful for the love and protection that surrounds me and has given me wings to fly.
“An authentically powered person lives in love. Love is the energy of the soul. Love is what heals the personality. There is nothing that cannot be healed by love. There is nothing but love.”
