“Forgiveness is overlooking mistakes and letting go of resentments.

Forgiveness frees us from the needless pain of reliving hurt.

Forgiveness doesn’t make a wrong choice right; it brings the generosity of spirit to release it. It brings blessed opportunity for a clean start.

Forgiveness opens the door of hope.”

The Practice of Forgiveness: “I overlook mistakes. I free myself from pain and resentment. I am willing to heal the past. I find it in my heart to give others another chance. I use guilt only as a signal for change. I accept Divine redemption. I have the power to change for the better.” – Linda Kavelin-Popov

Last month, we made more than 74 greeting cards and delivered love letters to seniors living at Holly Tree apartments and Laurel Park residents at our 5th year Virtues Camp reunion. Thanks to every parent and child and guest who participated!

As for forgiveness, I have had my own share of forgiving the past and being gentle with myself. I have also embarked on a new health and fitness program which reminds me that Every Day is a New Day!

Best wishes for a fabulous Thanks Giving season.  Remember your loved ones and tell them a virtue acknowledgment this month!

Love,

Delaram
