Life is a long lesson in humility.
We never understand how little we need in this world until we know the loss of it.
Never ascribe to an opponent motives meaner than your own.
Always try to be a little kinder than necessary..
James M. Barrie “Peter Pan”

Sonya Grace: Your emotional wounds, also known as Karma, ofter include rejection & betrayal. We get so caught up in our pain we forget we are not victims but participants in a much bigger story. When we can truly see we have a part in all of our wounding, past lives, ancestral karma, our tolerance, understanding & compassion returns. If we blinded by hatred, resentment & jealousy, we miss the opportunity to heal. Love heals all wounds; forgiveness is the first step. Feel it in your body. Make each day a declaration of forgiveness. You can hold others accountable, you can bookmark the event, but you can also be free of the karma by doing the inner work.
