Life at the Wee Cottage in the Woods.....Our memories can be a garden of delight as well as a garden of pain. Some days we walk through this garden and stop and enjoy those memories that bring us joy...that bring a smile to our hearts. Some days we pause at those moments that are painful...at the memories of things that have hurt us. Together these memories make up the tapestry of our life woven in rich colors as well as subdued colors. The overall effect is of who we are in this journey of life.
The purpose of this blog is to capture the garden of my life with photographs, inspirational quotes, stories of life, recipes of friends and family shared, and my own thoughts. This site is my legacy in my words and photos............. |

Forgive
I forgive and I am free.
Wednesday, July 28, 2021
When I have experienced something painful and it weighs heavily on my heart, I may want to offer forgiveness. But how? How do I forgive when I am still in pain over the actions of another?
I begin by surrendering my bruised feelings in the Silence and opening the way for the free flow of love and peace throughout my soul and body. I quiet my mind. I release all thoughts as I focus on my breath. Settling deeper into the Silence, I let go. I speak these words: I release you, I let you go. You are free. I am free. And so it is.
As these words resonate in my heart, I begin to feel light and free. I greet the peace I have gained through forgiving.
Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.—Luke 6:37
