Dear Friends, I hope this letter finds you in good spirits. I wanted to share something close to my heart—a truth I’ve come to understand about forgiveness and the weight we often carry when we hold onto anger. Forgiveness is one of the most powerful acts we can offer—not just to others, but to ourselves. It’s easy to believe that forgiving someone means excusing their actions, but it’s far from that. Forgiveness is about freeing yourself from the grip of pain and resentment. Waiting for an apology can leave you stuck, hoping for closure that may never come. But when you forgive, you take control of your own healing and reclaim your peace. When we hold onto anger, it’s like drinking poison and hoping the other person will die. That bitterness doesn’t harm the person who wronged you—it only hurts you. It keeps you tethered to the past, blocking joy and creating stress that can even impact your health. Anger is heavy, and carrying it around only weighs you down. Forgiveness, on the other hand, is liberating. It’s not about pretending the hurt didn’t happen or that it didn’t matter—it’s about deciding that your happiness and peace matter more than staying stuck in resentment. It’s about breaking free from the chains of anger and focusing on your growth. Choosing forgiveness doesn’t mean it’s easy. It takes courage to let go of the pain and refuse to let it define you. But when you do, you’ll find a lightness, a freedom, and a joy that anger can never provide. Forgiveness isn’t about the other person—it’s about you taking back your power and stepping into a brighter future. So, if you’re holding onto anger or waiting for an apology, I encourage you to consider forgiveness—not as a gift to them, but as a gift to yourself. You deserve peace, and forgiveness is the key. With warmth and understanding, Kristine ❤️ #iforgiveyou #forgiveness
