Forgive- it can evoke all kinds of thoughts, feelings and emotions.  When someone does something against us- oh boy, do we build the energy around what happened, what they did and can you believe it, when we share the story with others.  Sometimes in reaching out we can have those conversations to have closure and move on.  Many times, we don't get that or the outcome we desire.  We forgive for us, not necessarily for the other person.  It frees us from being prisoners- trapped in bitterness and grudges.  How do we forgive those who hurt us? Betray us?  Why do we need to forgive them?  Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting....we'll tackle that as well. Not only do we need to forgive others, but sometimes we need to forgive ourselves and give grace.
