Forgiveness: A Journey, Not a Destination

Are you sick and tired of hearing about forgiveness? I for one want to scream every time someone asks me, “Have you forgiven your cheating spouse?” or “You’re a better woman than I am for forgiving him. I don’t think I could do that.” Or the worst yet, “Be the better person, just forgive and forget!” Contrary to popular belief, forgiveness is not a magic cure-all to infidelity or betrayal. Nor is it a destination that brings you peace and serenity once you arrive. Join me for a deep dive into forgiveness, its various components and aspects, followed by a Sacred Forgiveness Ceremony that you can use anytime you feel called to forgive. Top take-a-ways: Why Accepting Unconditionally is more important and more powerful than forgiveness. Untangling yourself from the actions of the cheater and healthily owning your role without taking any blame. Why having empathy for the process of living is essential, and how to release judgment and let go of ideas of right and wrong, so you can stay out of self-righteousness and stay “healthily selfish” instead. The power of “packaging up” your infidelity journey into a healthy narrative before attempting any sort of forgiveness.
