“Forgive those who hurt you yesterday. Reward those who help you today. Remember those who help you tomorrow.”

“Don’t mourn over the past; it has no pity for you. Don’t cry over the present, it has no sympathy for you, and I don’t weep the future, it has no mercy on you.”

“There’s a destructive power in unforgiveness and unforgiveness controls you in a negative way. It’s time to let it all go! You become strong when you genuinely forgive. You become empowered when you genuinely forgive. You gain back your inner peace when you genuinely forgive. You release stress, bitterness, and anger when you genuinely forgive. But most importantly, you’re able to live your best life when you genuinely forgive. Give yourself permission to live life free of toxic thoughts, feelings, and energy. Forgive!”

For us we must listen for our own nudge from the inner soul. We must know…we will feel, it’s ok to let it be. *“Whispers words of wisdom let it be.” - Wes Adamson * “Let It Be” lyrics by Paul McCartney”

“Supposed that you are a trauma survivor and member of an opposed group. In that case, you are not only more likely to experience trauma, but you are also more likely to feel pressure from society to forgive your offender(s).”

“Pressuring, demanding, or encouraging forgiveness from Black survivors may be used as a method to avoid the realities of systemic racism and racial trauma and used as a substitution for enacting substantive social justice.”

“It is better to help an enemy than to harm a friend.”

“MEMORIES All memories of days gone by can only be remembered in the twilight of evening’s calm warmth All memories remembered in the full light of day unsettles the mind and frustrates the spirit All memories are tides and fluid mists gliding through the caverns and temples of our mind All memories have no meaning unless woven into our soft sweet hearts’ forgiveness and desire for love’s wholeness and release”
