Global & International Forgiveness Day(s)!

Hey...doing this blog I am running into all types of information. On Facebook I read through "Lucy Florence" that August 5th is "International Forgiveness Day" & August 27th is "Global Forgiveness Day!" Isn't that amazing?!?!?!?! I never knew that!!! The message of both days basically boils down to giving and receiving apologies of anything from the past.

The good thing is that even though those two days are now passed (but we do still have 2 more days in August)...forgiveness is something that can be given and received at anytime! So pause and take a moment to think about if there's anyone that you can offer forgiveness to....or that you can ask forgiveness from?? It's never too late.

By giving and receiving the act of forgiveness we help make things better all the way around. Something to ponder...

Today I Don't Feel My Best

Today has not been one of my better days. I woke up feeling a bit under the weather and I am having car issues. Nothing seemed to go the way I had planned or laid out for the day. However, after dealing with changing schedules and appointments, waiting for AAA to arrive to tow my car to the shop, and realizing the $$$ that it was going to cost me to get everything fixed on and with my car (which was enough for me to have to FORGIVE someone for)....my daughter said to me "Mom" let's go visit Christy (she's like a niece to me) in the hospital and see Brayden (her newborn son)....what could be a better way to overcome issues in one's life than to look into the eyes of a newborn and the innocence and beauty only God could give.

I just wanted to share ~

Well today has been a bit challenging to say the least. First of all my car went out yesterday and I won't have time to even put it into the shop until next week because of my schedule...but today I had to deal with some tax issues and talking about "Forgiving For Living..." when you learn someone has messed you up and yet you have to go on and let it go....forgiveness can be a challenge.

Has anyone every experienced this before?

Just sharing and releasing...have a good evening.

What does the word "Forgiveness" mean to you?

Hello...It's a calm Sunday evening and I thought that it would be a good time for me to come out and send another post. I actually posted on my Facebook page the question about what does Forgiveness mean to you....and what would you do if you were never forgiven for something you had done?

The answers were very interesting....what some felt was the meaning of "Forgiveness"

* Love
* Free
* A Live Saving Tool
* Peace
* Beauty
* Grace
* Mercy
* Jesus
* God
* Courage
* Act as if it never happened to you
* Empowerment
* Allowing the person that wronged you to evolve into a better person

What do you think the word Forgiveness means to you? I would love to hear your response...

No More Procrastinating....Forgiveness

I've been wanting to start my own blog where I can share my thoughts and feelings about the topic of "forgiveness." I wasn't really sure how to do this so of course, as many parents, I had to ask my daughter to help me. So here we are! By the way....thank you Courtney!

Thus far most of my public life has centered around the subject of "event planning & public relations." However, there's always been a more subtle or private side of me that deals with real issues of forgiveness. This blog will be where I open up about those matters and hopefully others will feel compelled to do the same.

So....I look forward to us traveling on this journey together and hopefully discovering how to release and forgive others....and in the process freeing ourselves!
