Something most of you don’t know about me is that I am in training to become a Forgiveness Coach. Actually, that was my original business plan to start with. And although massage comes very natural for me and I absolutely LOVE doing it, I actually never meant to be a massage practitioner…that happened quite by accident and more out of necessity and survival.
It was forgiveness, not massage, which inspired me to want to be of service to others. It was forgiveness that originally brought me to you. However, due to several unforeseen circumstances, I had to postpone the work I was doing, and just now I find myself drawn back to it.
The past few days I have been immersing myself pretty heavily in the very thing that brought me to who I am today, and what I know I am meant to bring forth to others. In my humble opinion, I also think it is the one thing on this Earth that everyone could use, understand, and learn how to do, whether they consciously know it or not. It goes deeper and touches more aspects of our lives that one would think. The question is, are you ready for it? And how far down the rabbit hole would you like to go if it meant internal peace and happiness?
As you can see and will get to know about me in the coming months, forgiveness is something I am super passionate about. Why? Because I have a lot of experience with it, especially in things one would wonder how it was possible.
But it is not really about the “how”. Knowing “how” is only secondary to the most important question…”why”. Why would you want to forgive? And when you find your why, the how will present itself. My why was for freedom…and when I was ready, forgiveness found me. And from that, I found the kind of peace within that most people only dream of.
Hold on to your hats folks, I have a feeling things are going to get interesting from here on in.
I am surprised that you didn't share your forgiveness training from the on-set of this blog :). We have to forgive ourselves for the 'stuff' that we overlooked in the past in order to truly love ourselves. Its only than that we can be open to the possibility of being loved.
ReplyDeleteThis blog is my favorite blog. Keep it up! Hollie
Thanks so much Hollie! I really appreciate your support. And my apologies for the late reply...I couldn't figure out how. lol Yes, even I am technologically challenged at times.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, you are sooo right. Forgiving ourselves is what forgiveness is truly about, and is the key to a better relationship with our own self. Everything starts with us...and ends with us. We are both the pebble and the water...and the ripples in between is that which we affect. I didn't mention the whole forgiveness thing sooner because I wasn't ready...and I am technically still in training for my actual certification. My vision for it is HUGE though, and I look forward to being able to help others on a grand scale. :o)
