You can endure betrayal, survive, learn valuable lessons, and ultimately thrive. I offer a practical process for taking back
control of your life and walking in dignity. It is not counseling—seek a professional for serious depression or suicidal or
harmful thoughts. My approach is based on experience and having lived through the worst that a relationship can endure.
I want to share forgiveness pearls of wisdom taught by Jesus as part of the healing process, as well as the Progressions of
Forgiveness©. Each day we awaken, forgiven for any acts intentional or unintended affecting another human being, the
past no longer exists. We are reborn with purity of heart and have the ability to live this day pure of heart, free from
yesterday, and in a state of grace.
Living in grace is allowing others to be who they are, not who we want them to be. Letting them walk their path alone
unencumbered with our burden of expectations. Leave judgment in its rightful place—non-existence—and respect and
honor the value of those in your life for the unique person they have become. Grant the extraordinary gift of
unconditional love as the foundation of your relationships and the touchstone of your life. Practice forgiveness,
experience being forgiven, forgive unconditionally.
Progress to a State of Harmony: Free from anger, fear, anxiety, tension, or restlessness; in balance with your surroundings.
