A whirlwind of concepts flood my mind. There is so much to absorb and incorporate in our daily lives. Concepts that are vital for a change of mindset.

However, this week one rises above all else: FORGIVENESS. It seems like a monumental task, but one that is absolutely vital. Whatever your beliefs, this one defies all aspects of our SELF.

So, I sat down and made a decorated poster board with the concept: FORGIVE! I must confide that it has really struck a chord with me. Placing an exclamation point at the end of the word FORGIVE, makes it forceful.

It is not the vague concept of forgiveness, but the “must-do” command of forgiving. So, for this week´s blog I decided to write an acronym for the word: FORGIVE.

Fortitude: Have the courage to face the pain or adversity head on.
Opt-in: Look in deeply. Ask yourself: what is this trying to teach me?
Renounce: Let go of your ego that wishes to “hold on” to grudges … “no opinions” remember
Gratitude: Give thanks from the heart for the experience and go on with your life
Invite: new ideas, things, people, places…
Vantage point: Look for the good that has come with this while you “sit” in quiet awareness
Envision: the new life you are able to create thanks to the lessons learned.

In the meantime, another powerful concept has surfaced for me and maybe it will be helpful to you. So, I went back to my creative forces and decorated another poster board with the concept: TRUST!

Now as I look at my door (which is where I taped my poster boards) I FORGIVE and TRUST! No matter what… FORGIVE… and TRUST. Trust that the Universe, Spirit, God, Life whatever it may be… ALWAYS has your back!
