ForgivenessForgiveness of self and others is one of the themes of "Conversations with God"  , the superb book by Neale Donald Walsch. In it, he offers the following eloquent and heartfelt observation about forgiveness and the course of his life. It so fits the way I feel that I present it here as an acknowledgement of my own inadequacies and as a fervent testimony that it's never too late to turn one's life around: "I need now to say that I am...deeply embarrassed by my own life, which has been marked by continued mistakes and misdeeds, some very shameful behaviors, and some choices and decisions which I'm certain others consider hurtful and unforgivable. Though I have profound remorse that it was through others' pain, I am unspeakably grateful for all I have learned, and found that I have still yet to learn, because of the people in my life. I apologize to everybody for the slowness of that learning. Yet I am encouraged by God to grant myself forgiveness for my failings and not to live in fear and guilt but to always keep trying--keep on trying--to live a grander vision. I know that's what God wants for all of us."If one sentence, or even a single word contained herein, resonates with you and assists you in living a happier life, then this website has served its purpose. May you find and live the abundant blessings of God. You need look no further than your thoughts. The still, small voice is always there, patiently awaiting your calm and thoughtful attention.
