I recently read a book call I can do it by Louise Hay, It is one of those books that you need to read on a daily basis. It helps you take responsibility for your own feelings and reactions and master your ‘ability to respond’, in other words, you learn to consciously choose rather than simply react.
There are 5 focus points:
- Romance
- Job success
- Creativity
- Forgiveness
- Self-esteem
- Wealth, Health
One of the big ones for me is forgiveness. I just have to admit it. I was married for almost 25 years to a man who literally hates me. We are no longer married and haven’t been for 8 years. We are forced to be in the same room for the reason of 5 children. I am not scared of him, I don’t hate him, I am grateful that he gave me 5 incredible children. I am grateful he divorced me so I could move on to a new and better me.
I was recently at a baptism for our 8 year old grandson. I came around the corner of the church and our eyes met. I enthusiastically said, “Hi, …..” He ignored me and gave a grunt of discuss. I went on my way and gave my cousin a big hug.
This used to really hurt me and shut me down for a day or two. But as I continue to forgive, and focus on the good things in my life, I am over it in a matter of seconds. I expect nothing from him, not even an acknowledgment. 
I am ready to be healed.
I am willing to forgive.
All is well.
I am in a joyous, intimate relationship with a person who truly loves me. Love is all there is!
