» violetmuse - Written from your soul Dear author: This article is written with honesty. By experience, I know it is no easy to write from our souls, we have forgotten to hear and speak from that space.Since my young years I`ve been dealing with the childhood abuses we (family members) suffered. I tried everything: read hundreds of self help books, workshops, individual therapy, group therapy...etc. Everything you stated in your article is truth, we have to let go of hurry to forgive...because that`s a process. But you have address the most important, and it is to be aware of what is happening inside yourself and be kind and understanding to your feelings. That`s the most precious gift we can give ourselves, no matter if it is something we have done to others, or if it was done to us. We have to take steps to heal. I see it as a ladder, it have many steps. It is ok no matter in which step you are now. At 55 i can blessed all that has happened in my life, without that experiences i will not had accomplished all my understanding of self , and of life meaning. I`ve learned that perfection doesn`t exist...we humans are very far from it. And I`ve learn to see that everything is ok, no matter what. Forgiveness for my parents came slowly...almost without notice. And I discovered all the love and compassion I had for my parents. It took me more than half of my life, but I`m grateful for what I had become in the process. (Please forgive any misspelled word,Spanish is my first language) Thank`s for your article, it made me remember my life quest. Love, Aurora -- posted by violetmuse » ravenfairie - Re: Written from your soul Thank you for having the courage to share your story here. I was moved by your words and wish that I knew the right thing to say. All that I can say is that I admire your strength and your courage to not be a victim and to share your journey with others.I am sorry that it took me so long to respond to this post, I've been having some computer troubles and I was sick for a couple of days. Again Thank you for sharing, warmest blessings, -- posted by ravenfairie » Sunbear - Forgiveness Hi Andrea,I guess you are going by Andrea instead of Anne, which is fine--Just wanted to make sure that I had it right. That was an interesting article about anger and forgiveness and laced with those great pictures. I know what you mean about some of that about anger. I too just have to work through it. I have never found in shortcuts to "make it all better." I find if I let it take its course (without exacerbating it through too many angry words and deeds), I will come to a reconciliation. It is good to visit you again and reconnect. I may take your course one of these days. All the best.

Which ever one you're comfortable using is just fine with me.I agree with what you said about not exacerbating anger with nasty words as being important. Doing that just keeps feeding the energy of the anger and keeps the fire alive. I try hard not to do that, but sometimes... well they'res always a sometimes I've added laughter to my healing. A few of the people who were involved with this story have been gossiping and telling 'bald face' lies about myself and partner. Instead of allowing myself to get angry about that I've just been laughing at it, "how silly and childish this has become." It feels very high schoolish and I won't reduce myself to the immature level by spreading gossip, or getting upset about a bunch of lies. Eventually reconciliation does come and that's a healthy thing. I'm having some writers block trouble so my next article is late in coming, but soon it will arrive. I may take your course some time too! -- posted by ravenfairie
