Many times over the years, people have asked me to help them find their purpose. Usually they’re looking for it to be something they make or do in this world.
I’m the Founder of Power of Love Ministry, and I teach A Course in Miracles because I’m a student who loves to share. Those are things I do. They aren’t my purpose.
My purpose is to be truly helpful, and the most helpful thing I can do is forgive.
There’s a prayer in A Course in Miracles I come back to again and again:
“I am here only to be truly helpful.
I am here to represent Him Who sent me.
I do not have to worry about what to say or what to do,
because He Who sent me will direct me.
I am content to be wherever He wishes,
knowing He goes there with me.
I will be healed as I let Him teach me to heal.“
God is Love. I’m here to re-present Love to myself and share it with my brothers and sisters.
One of the things that helps us forgive is setting the intention to forget the past. Not tucking it away in the memory banks, but releasing it for healing. Emptying the cache, so to speak.
I used to regurgitate the past and think about the future all day long. I hardly spent any time in the present moment. One day I said to the Holy Spirit, Please take from my mind any memories I no longer need. Any painful memories I can’t use for teaching, please take them out of my mind so I never think them again.
Now sometimes people ask me questions and I literally can’t remember.I feel no loss at all. When I do remember something from the past, it’s a teaching tool I can share, and that’s a joy. How cool is that?
We think it’s so hard to give up resentment, or to feel lovable when we think we’re too fat or too ugly or too stupid. These are all opinions and judgments. Imagine them as empty, flat balloons lying there. They only come alive when we blow them up with our attention.
Our purpose is to forgive in order to forget.
If you’d like support letting go of the meaning you’ve made of the past, join us at a FREE Forgiveness Workshop, where we practice forgiveness together.
We’re here only to be truly helpful. Forgiveness is how we do it.

NEW PODCAST EPISODE: Trusting the One That Knows. In this episode of A Course in Miracles: Walking the Talk, Living the Love, I explore what I’ve learned about trust—not the kind where you white-knuckle your way through life hoping things turn out, but the kind where you actually let go and listen. I share a moment from Hawaii when I had to choose without understanding first, and a chipmunk encounter that revealed something I couldn’t have learned any other way. Most of us spend our lives convinced we need to figure things out first, then act. But I discovered something different. Through forgiveness practices and honest conversations about resistance, I’m uncovering why the ego’s need to know is so costly—and what becomes available when you stop insisting on proof. This episode reveals what a genuine trust in the Holy Spirit actually looks like in real life.
