January is a moon for dreaming and for the pilgrimage i’m devoting the 31 days to January Jewels which syncs beautifully with my Jules’ birthday this month along with that of several dear friends. I love this picture’s jewels and the jewel of forgiveness as peace but i’d like to amend this jewel to include the most important forgiveness is that of self… not only does forgiveness bring peace, it also frees us for giving…

So, let’s journey to a safe place… in the center of this true refuge is a jewelry box with many drawers filled with hurts awaiting forgiveness… choose a drawer and empty the hurt into the light… let go of resentment and heartache allowing it to float into the light and disappear… once the drawer is empty, watch as it turns to sand and the wind blows it away…

If/when there are other hurts to be emptied, this safe space is always here for you…

shanti, shanti, shanti…
