In Her Own Words
"Unmetabolized shame, guilt and blame hold us hostage to the past. By taking even a few
hours to think about the past year, and committing to a process of self-forgiveness and
forgiveness of others, miracles can happen. There are currently dozens of
medical/psychological/sociological researchers studying the effects of forgiveness. Forgiveness
reduces anxiety, depression and physical symptoms. It increases happiness and well-being. At
its truest, forgiveness is a transformation of the forgiver, rather than a pardon of the offender."
