There cannot be peace without forgiveness

Whenever Gracie was challenging her Mum or that she was having a tantrum it was good to help to soothe her with breathing and help her to acknowledge her emotions and accept they have no logic and to anchor her into the present moment.

Breathing is so important, holding onto negative energy only hurts the one feeling resentment or frustration, it is absolutely something I learned as a child, well teenager, that the power we have is to not accept the emotions of anger, or feeling victimised. It is better to accept the hostilities as being the expression of the person and demanding some sort of vengeance or grovelling helps no one.

Gracie taught me that she must not be scared of her emotions to actually engage her power to express and respect her emotions. Emotional health is vital.

My niece helped me to recognise the health of a child’s emotional being, Gracie loved to express her love for her Mum and it was good to see her being so happy and engaged in living the best to her abilities.

So many times we crave peace yet hold onto the sadness and hurt, and last week I was very ill, hence my absence from this blog for a few days. In lockdown many people are finding it difficult and being ill often exacerbates the angst and upset in peoples lives.

We all need a bit of support right now and why would anyone make it harder? it doesn’t make any sense at all whatsoever which brings me to this quote I found in a book I have read:

“Hanging onto resentment is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die” Malachy McCourt.

Please be kind.
