Extreme emotional pain has a profound effect on the body. I witnessed my already frail body become even more toxic and plundered.

No more martyring myself.

I have learned through repeated experiences that in order to heal, I MUST forgive. The forgiveness is not for the transgressor. The forgiveness is for ME.

Laughter lightens my heart and therefore heals my soul as well.

The Aramaic word for “forgive” means literally to “untie.” Hatred and anger had bound me to my pain. The fastest way to free the self from an enemy and all associated negativity is to forgive. Untie those bindings; free yourself from that person’s ugliness.
