Hello Pinky Tribe

Great call tonight!

How do you know you have forgiven someone?

Great question and I want to reiterate what I shared about on the great call tonight.

I define forgiveness as freedom.

Forgiving my past, saved my life. That I know for sure.

Forgiveness is often collapsed with forgetting and one thing has nothing to do with the other.

Forgive does not mean forget, it means FORGIVE…

People ask me this all the time…how do I know if you have really  forgiven yourself or another person, place or thing?

A simple answer is  when you think about them or the incident, or yourself,  revenge,  shame, pain, blame and guilt do not show up.  Neutrality, balance and inner peace equals freedom and that is forgiveness.

Ask yourself, how has forgiveness served you and how is holding pain or resentment towards another holding you back in your life?

And I invite you to ask that question to yourself about your self forgiveness…

Why can you do it for others and not for yourself?

Good place of inquiry.

Ask the universe for support, ask your pinky power partner for support and know you are being held and loved.

Good work, learning, loving and letting go!

XO, Laura

Dear Leah,

It was so lovely to hear your voice your truth…your stick-to-it-ness. Your progress, your strength and even your vulnerability that is coming through in your writing.

It is so much a part of this work….the key is to stay and be with it all. Where else do you go? Into the food? into the victim? into the ____________

Pain is part of this…being in the darkness and actually being with it will bring forth the light. It will. If we can stand and be with it…it will transform itself Leah….so let those overwhelming feelings just be…and notice them being and through them and in them…comes the light….

I was first guided to share about food and then this loud voice just popped in and guided me to share our weekly call ground principles which really Leah, can be applied to our whole life.

Ground principles. These principles go out to all our Pinky’s who choose to be on the calls and the community at large. Something for everyone to receive…

~ #1 principle is no one gets to be wrong here. There is no right and wrong way to do anything.

~I ask that you be on time for the calls and give me 24 hours notice and let me know ahead of time if you have to miss (show up for yourself no matter how great or not so great you feel, you can always turn a cloud into the sun and….when you are in a sunny place you can be there for someone in the dark clouds).

~Your Pinky Power Partner…Please read the guidelines I sent to you if you have not already done so and reach out to your power partner  when you get assigned one and if you do not hear from her, I need to know. (the OnePinky community is full of power partners whether you have one yet or not, don’t you agree Leah?)

~We hold what is shared here confidential and that stays within the confines of the group (keep your word to the safety and sacredness of this group or any group you are a part of, trust begins by feeling safe)

~I ask that you keep your judgment out, as much as you can remember to do that and keep your heart open. It is no accident that you are here (this speaks for itself)

~ Please mute your phone if you must be around noise but what I really want is for you to give yourself this time in a quiet space all to yourself and not multi task during this phone time (this could be translated into muting our ego…our gremlin, that nasty critic!)

~I also ask that we all do our best to respect others when they are speaking and wait your turn to share. I invite you to all share from your heart, this is safe loving space (this too speaks for itself).

~FULL Participation is always welcomed AND so are questions from you.

Leah, till we meet on the call next week, let’s make a commitment to holding space for those who feel pain and resistance in doing this work that they will notice a shift from the darkness to the light.

Live, Learn and Let Go.

I Love You, XO

Laura

P.S. How is exercise and food plan going for you today?
