Forgiving When You Feel They Are Wrong

This morning on KJLH I spoke about the importance of Forgiveness and I used a quote from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., "We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There's some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us!"

I went on to say that we need to be careful to show love and forgiveness to all because we never know when the shoe may be on ther other foot (our feet).....

I received a lot of text messages and voice messages after I talked about that because in the headlines right now in Inglewood and the LA area there's the whole piece about how Mayor Dorn of Inglewood resigned....and there were many who felt he deserved it and that they couldn't forgive him....well....my comment to that would be, forgiveness has nothing to do with judging if someone is right or wrong...or even guilty....it's about letting the system do what it is going to do and possibly even freeing oneself. The thing is....when someone does something wrong...and they know it....they will judge themselves....

What do you think???

In 2010 Let's Begin Again!!!!

Happy New Year! It's been a while since I came out and posted something on my blog. I am truly sorry....where does time go? For those of you that read the Los Angeles Sentinel we are changing things up a bit in our column....we are now not only sharing tid bits about what's happening around town, but also sharing words of encouragement to help you forgive and truly move on with a new perspective on life...check us out. We're also changing our flow on KJLH 102.3 on Friday Mornings at 5am with Dominique DiPrima on the Front Page. She's letting us fly and share tips on Forgiveness and how to help make our community a better place. So I'm sending out lots of love to both the Los Angeles Sentinel and KJLH 102.3 Radio!!!

At the top of the year it's always a good time to set new goals and objectives on what you want in your life. We encourage you to put "forgiveness" at the top of your list! Who knows someone may decide to give you a second chance as well!

Blessings ~
