Joanne shares her healing journey and the true meaning of forgiveness. It's not about denying hurt or acting like everything is fine but a spiritual path towards peace. Forgiveness involves letting go of anger and pain gradually, allowing God to meet us where we are. Peace comes in small steps, like rays of sunlight breaking through clouds. Forgiveness is a patient journey, starting with one breath at a time. You are not alone in this process; take your time, as peace begins with each deep breath. Episode 1, Journey to Forgiveness, A Spiritual Path to Inner Peace. Hi, this is Joanne. Welcome to Journey to Forgiveness, where I share pieces of my own healing journey, one breath at a time. Today, I want to talk about what forgiveness really means to me. It's not about pretending the hurt never happened, and it's not about saying everything is okay. For me, forgiveness is a spiritual path that slowly leads us toward peace. It's deciding day by day to lay down the weight of anger and pain and to let God meet us right where we are. On this path, I've learned that peace doesn't come all at once. It comes in small pieces, like tiny bits of sunlight breaking through the clouds. And each bit of peace comes with the choice to hold on to hurt or to take another step toward healing. If you're listening and your heart feels heavy, I want you to know that you're not alone. You don't have to rush. Forgiveness is an instant. It's a gentle, patient journey that starts with one breath and then another. Thank you for listening today. If this spoke to you, pause for a moment after you finish and take one deep breath. That's where peace begins.
