Forgiveness Isn't the Issue
Episode #5 is deals with forgiveness. For years I was told (and thought) I was not a forgiving person. Come to find out I was forgiving people and I was not allowing them back in my life to hurt myself and my family again. It is easy to become unbalanced and not value yourself enough to expect others to value you. This comes at a huge cost and for what? Weed out the people in your life that do not choose to apologize AND change their behavior. The change in behavior is a KEY element to if the person was sorry, or just wanted to look good. This is an important lesson for church goers as well! Do your best!! You can message me directly on my blog. www.momsmixedfamilyblender.com
