This season, it’s easy to hold on to old grudges, disappointments, or regrets. Yet forgiveness — whether of ourselves or others — is one of the quietest, most powerful gifts we can give.
Yesterday, I remembered a small misunderstanding with a friend that had lingered longer than it should. Instead of letting it weigh on me, I chose to release it — to forgive and move forward. The relief was immediate, gentle, and freeing.
Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting or excusing. It means letting go of what no longer serves us, creating space for peace, joy, and presence.
Today, consider one thing — big or small — that you can forgive. Let it go, even just a little, and notice how it lightens your heart.
