EmailUniversal Butt Kicking
That’s what I woke up to today.Â
Most of you I imagine have had  a ‘butt kicking’, but for those of you that haven’t had a ‘universal’ butt kicking, the difference is that you don’t see it coming, where in the more common butt kickings you know you’ve done something, push somebodies buttons, tempted fate…something.Â
When the universe goes through the trouble of kicking your butt it usually means you’re just not seeing something and that something is doing more harm, so wake up and get on with the business of being whatever it is you say you are.
My butt kicking was around “Forgiveness”
Forgiveness is a key element living peacefully. Forgiving others and myself.
As I prepared for my workout I picked up a  book from Doreen Virtue (PHD) flipping open randomly (something I often do believing I will get to read what I need to hear most) I arrived at this:
“You are guided to release anger and irritation.  You may be perfectly justified in feel angry. yet look at the high price you pay for being the vessel of anger.
Forgiveness does not mean, “What you did is okay to me” It simply means, “I am no longer willing to carry around pain in response to your actions. When we hold unforgivenss in our hearts, we only punish ourselves, after all. ”
So with that IÂ leave all of you with this amazingly wonderful thought…
“I honour the place in you where the entire universe dwells. The place in you that is of love, of light, of peace and of truth. When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me….We are one. ”
Namaste.

Thanks Jackey. I this is a wonderful way to put this. The last two weeks I have had a universal Butt Kicking. I have been letting control my actions, thoughts and response to others. I think I can forgive it all now and move on. What happened happened. I have to forgive the fact that I cannot control others actions. I have stated my case and I must forgive and move forward. How do you know what I need when I need it? Have a blessed day.

Isn’t it incredible that as hard it as it is to forgive others, that it’s even harder forgiving ourselves.
That beautiful quote can be directed at anyone, including ourselves.
All the best!

Hi Jackie,
I could not help but respond to this as I had a big dialogue with a client last week on Forgiveness and in fact I offer my clients a release letter to do this.
I like what you said about it. Could I feature what you wrote as it is in my August Newsletter with your website? If not that is ok and I will write something else.
How is it going for you? Let me know if you ever get this way for coffee!

Please feel free anytime Irene, I know you and your work and am happy to be of service by passing on these amazing words. Thinking I might be out your way sometime November early December…on my way to the mountains, we’ll hook up then! Be well be happy.

Great input Peggy!!, For me it has become qutie simply, you see I have come to realize that at any given moment I have only one choice to make I can choose to think thoughts that will bring me peace…or not. Other human beings are simply that – human beings. And just as you and I at times will say or do something that would have been better we didn’t we still do. People can choose to act out of fear or love, most often in this world as it is, we live in a world that acts out of fear, often even mistaking fear based experiences for love (jealousy is just one example). Be kind be gentle, and like remember forgiving the person doesn’t mean you have to allow the behaviour to continue.
Namaste
