People talk about forgiveness as though it’s an onion that we need to peel the layers of in order to finally be able to let it go. In my personal life research laboratory I’ve discovered that when I’m ready to give up every opinion I have about something then there is no onion and nothing to peel.
When I cling to opinions about what’s what right and wrong then deny myself the opportunity to harvest the learning in my experiences. When I remind myself that masterful beings never make a mistake – simply, I am learning and growing from my experiences and there’s no mistake in that.
What makes forgiveness an onion to be peeled is the refusal to be grateful for the learning – the refusal to harvest the learning in whatever the painful experience was. When I’m willing to be grateful and harvest the learning, forgiveness comes easily.
Forgiveness never eludes me although it looks that way. It can look like I’m chasing forgiveness, but what I’ve really done is decide I’d rather be right. Now, I’d rather give up my opinions quickly, harvest the learning and embody it
I choose to be grateful for my expansion and my Freedom.
My opinions, being right and holding onto a grudge will never bring me Peace, and I’m so glad I know that now!

Freedom is never in the future.
Freedom is only ever available now and it is ALWAYS available now.
So, right now I am grateful and thankful for all of my life’s experiences. They have all brought me learning and I’m grateful because I am here to learn. I’m grateful for everyone that’s participated in my learning experiences. And what I absolutely know from the bottom of my heart is that there’s nothing to forgive because I’ve learned from all of it. I am grateful for THAT learning most of all. And in gratitude, I share this learning with all beings, because I’m one with them. And so it is. Amen.
The latest episode of my podcast’s topic is A Year of A Course in Miracles. I share some of the key principles in ACIM that have helped me, and many others, to change our thinking and transform our lives.
Traveling this path of Love together we let go of the painful past and release the compulsive fearful thinking – so many in this Power of Love community are proving it’s possible even when they thought it wasn’t. Dissolving difficult thought patterns is the kind of work we do in my Masterful Living Program.
What could you do or accomplish in the coming year that would be more valuable than letting go of the root causes of fear, pain and all suffering? Why wait? Why delay? You will choose it eventually.
People who do this work with us in the Masterful Living Program are often amazed at how their bodies heal and their families heal, and for some it improves their finances in the most unexpected and remarkable ways. It’s deeply healing to us individually and to those around us, because we share the same mind.
If people didn’t prove it all the time in Masterful Living, we could never believe that the practical application of these principles would heal their marriage, their arthritis, or their body so they’re no longer spending thousands on medications and treatments. Who would imagine that surgeries would no longer be needed or that their income would double, triple, quadruple without doing anything different to improve their business?
Once people prove that changing their mind heals their life and body, they get excited for what else might be possible.
So many relationships are healed, families mended and transformed for the participants of Masterful Living. Come join us this coming year!
If you feel called to join us, follow your intuition. You can book an Exploratory Call with one of the spiritual counselors to discuss any questions you have about Masterful Living and that’s a free call!
