Peace is not possible without forgiveness. Martin Luther King once said, “Forgiveness is not an occasional act; it is a permanent attitude.”  Forgiveness actually benefits your heart health and your mental well-being.  It is a daily act of living a life of peace.  "Life is an adventure in forgiveness," writer and editor Norman Cousins once stated.  Join us for some tips to help make forgiveness a part of your daily life. Forgivenss can be very difficult.  However, it is much easier to do than living with resentment.  Forgivenss allows you to learn the lessons of life and move foward.  It is important to forgive yourself and others even when they don't ask for it. ***Please note, technical challenges - part of the recording is missing, we don't know what happened.  But if you go here you can read the missing parts.   Mark and Kally Indigo Mountain:  Wellness, Toys & Gifts Follow us and keep up with us on Facebook.
