Quotations:
"The one principle that if we don't get a hold of, we're not going to move forward. It is going to keep us stuck. It is going to keep us feeling sad and blue and depressed and even angry and bitter - forgiveness"
"True forgiveness is not about erasing memories but releasing the emotional weight they carry."
"Forgiveness is not a memory relapse. You don't just forget what happened, but it is a memory release."
"Unforgiveness manifests in a lot of ways. If you're feeling some bursts of anger, or you become petty and critical, you're stuck in unforgiveness."
"Forgiveness is a choice. You can make it."
