Steffany and Patrick go back into the archives for this episode on "Forgiveness". “No forgiveness no peace, know forgiveness know peace.” Source unknown In life, we all come to know that shit happens. People do things that hurt us, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. We do things to others, and to ourselves, we make mistakes. What’s left is the need to forgive… to forgive ourselves or others. Desmond Tutu once said “Forgiveness does not mean that we pretend things are anything other than they are. I am hurt, we say. I am betrayed, we announce. I am in pain and grief. I have been treated unfairly. I am feeling ashamed. I am angry this has been done to me. I am sad and I am lost. I may never forget what you have done to me, but I will forgive. I will do everything in my power not to let you harm me again. I will not retaliate against you or against myself.”
