"Forgive others,
not because they deserve forgiveness,
but because you deserve peace".
It is hard to forgive and forget,
and sometimes
"he / she just doesn't deserve to be forgiven",
"I just can't forgive them".
We've all said this and with good reason,
if only to protect ourselves.
BUT ---
We DESERVE the PEACE
that comes from letting that person go,
even if that does mean forgiving him / her.
I'm not going to quote Christian scripture (although I do personally respect Christianity),
but I do know from research
and experience
that by forgiving and letting go of that bad "incident / person",
we give ourselves
the gift of PEACE,
PEACE of Mind,
PEACE of Soul,
PEACE OF Spirit.
We Deserve PEACE !
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Why Indie and Otis Came to Love OllieSupported by: Ollie
Like most dog moms, the best part of my day is the time spent with my dogs. I have an 8 year old Pittie mix named Indie and a two year old Frenchie mix named Otis. Indie is my soul dog and the love of my life. She has inspired me to become a photographer, a business owner, and a creator, among other things. She is the smartest and most loyal creature who selflessly makes sure that I’m happy above all else. Most of the time, she knows how I’m feeling before I do. When we’re together, she’s my shadow–never more than a few inches from me at all times.
