A Path To Personal Forgiveness – Part 2

Part 2 of the inspirational path to personal forgiveness: What I’m calling upon here is a merging of spiritual and moral values with psychological realism.

A Path To Personal Forgiveness Part 1

All of us, I feel fairly certain, believe that forgiveness is a positive quality. But the fact that religion has been the traditional basis for finding forgiveness has made it seem quite often that there’s something saintly, or at the very least unusually gentle, compassionate, and selfless in those who can forgive… Since the current […]

Turn Habits Into Consciousness

Have you ever heard yourself sounding like your parents? Does this alarm you? If you could change these (and other) parenting habits, would you? Around the age of 10 years I loved baking.
