Love and Forgiveness
As I go through this creative destruction, making room for the wealth and abundance that is eager to flow into my life, I have sought the counsel of several people I consider mentors: Oprah Winfrey, Stephen Covey, Stephen Pollan, Deepak Chopra, Don Miguel Ruiz, Carlos Castaneda and my Grandfather.
Each, at various points in my life have nurtured me, have shaped my thinking and help me discover my power and wisdom. And as I call on them, reflecting on where my life is now and soon to be, all respond back to me to say simply: "Love and Forgive."
When afraid, breathe. When weak, love. When in doubt, trust. And when angry, forgive.
Despite the physical difficulties of my life right now, mentally, spiritually and emotionally I am as strong as I've ever been. This strength I can feel at the core of my being, and it's intensity can be seen physically. I am losing weight, gaining energy and getting physically strong from the core outward.
In some ways I'm older than my years and in other ways I am still that developing child whose spirit and imagination hasn't been killed off by the grind of life.
Recently, I've found a lot of value in practicing forgiveness, mainly with people that have directly or indirectly harmed me in some ways. I came to this naturally, because I haven't the energy or the interest any more in carry the burden of the past, so I am quick to forgive and let go because I'm making room for the fantastic things that are flying into my life.
It is shocking to the recipients of this forgiveness, yet I don't bother to explain why. I'm operating on a completely different level now and to be here I simply can't carry the past with me-and I'm really okay with that.
The connection that I had with Vicki years ago has suddenly returned. Somehow I know that she is happy and now has a daughter as well as a son. The gift of being aware of others this way has returned--I thought it was lost forever. I am amazed and grateful it has been returned to me. And as love and forgiveness embraces me, I am forever changed and blessed by it.

I am, once again--Alive
