What did you learn?

Pirie notes, she was beating the heck out of my self. I failed to forgive myself yet  I needed to replenish my strength. Pirie discussing “Blowing Out” her immune system. It’s not just what food you put int your body, but other things, the emotions the wounds. Caught up in saying the perfect things, looking perfect, Pirie found she denied the messy nature of humans. This hiding was leading to more damage.

Through a lot of writing, Pirie figured out that, “When you can forgive yourself, then you can forgive others.”

Any time I struggled to forgive, I returned to myself; and I realized, over and over, it begins with me.  As she forgave, she unlocked anger, vengeful feelings and removed them; she started letting go. She began to deal with the things that weren’t obvious, yet created lots of stress in her life.

Today, Pirie is about 95% healthy and continuing to get better. Her client roster as a life coach grows while her powerful ability to forgive is keeping her healthy, and unlocking forgiveness in others.
