Recently I’ve been doing a lot of inner work with forgiveness- forgiving others but mostly forgiving myself.  This “work” involved journaling, art play, and EFT Tapping.  As I was nearing the end of all of this, I came across the image of the older woman looking into the younger woman’s eyes and I was immediately drawn to using it on a SoulCollage card to express visually how I was feeling inside about forgiving and being forgiven.

I am the one who looks into your eyes and only sees the best of you.  I am the one who looks with eyes of love.  I am the safe, wise, compassionate one who forgives because I love.  I am the one holding your precious head between my two hands.

I am the one standing with you against the eternal background of ocean.  We are watched over by Spirit.  I am the part of you who forgives easily.  I am the part of you who receives the blessing of forgiveness with open heart.

My gift to you is simply love.  I give you compassion.  I give you forgiveness.  I give you a vantage point from the future.  My gift to you is the freedom that comes from begin fully forgiven.

I want you to practice compassion and kindness towards yourself and others.  On a regular basis!  I want you to experience and receive kindness and compassion when it is offered to you. 

I want you to LOOK AT YOURSELF the way I am looking at you.

My wisdom for you today is this:  You are precious.  You are the one one of you that there is or ever will be.  Let go of EVERYTHING that weights you down- all fears, all guilts, all past mistakes… and look at yourself in the mirror the way that I am looking at you- with kindness, love, and true compassion.
