Healing Through Mindfulness and Forgiveness with Beverly Conyers
Forgiveness is never about pretending that we weren't hurt or that what we suffered doesn't matter. It isn't about forgetting. Instead, forgiveness is about seeing others' transgressions through the prism of compassion, understanding that all people are flawed.
