Something She Said

When I was a little girl, someone with whom I was very close, said something to me in the heat of a disagreement that I still haven’t forgotten. She said, “You’re just like _____. I knew she hated that person so I felt cursed somehow, if you will, hated by someone I loved.

It would be years later as I grew older and wiser that I understood her words came from fear – a very specific fear. Thankfully, I forgave her long ago which released me from any “curse” or any sense of separation from this person.

Something I Said

The other day Inner Wisdom helped me to remember something I said to someone years ago in a moment without a pause. As the words leaped out of my mouth, I knew it was a hurtful thing to say. I let them whirl out of my mouth anyway!

Two reasons Wisdom stepped in are to re-Mind me TODAY, to:

Pause before speaking unhelpful words as they come up in my mind.

and

To forgive myself so that I am not carrying this around, weighing myself down.
