Forgiveness is Love

Forgiveness lightens the weight we carry. In a world quick to judge, today’s meditation invites you to soften — to release shame, hurt and anger, and to offer grace to yourself and others. In choosing forgiveness, you choose love, and the freedom that flows from it.

the gift of seeing their humanity. Forgiveness is not excusing harm.
