Forgiveness...what does that word mean to you? For me, it means letting go of pain and deciding consciously that I don't need it and that I'm letting it go, not allowing pain or irritation or anger or shame or regret to control who I am right now in this moment.

As I hold two pearls in my hands I open my heart to joy for I am present now and I am beautiful and love flows through me and I can accept this and share it with you.
