Forgiveness - What Are Your Thoughts?
Patti Conklin • April 4, 2017
Forgiveness is divine, but it's not always easy.
This month, I want to know how you found forgiveness?
Tell me about the moment you decided to forgive someone or even yourself?
All of us spend a lot of time letting go of issues that have hurt us, people who have been cruel to us… Forgiveness helps us to release our perception of the event that needs to be forgiven, and release the negative emotion stored because of it.Using tools such as ColorWorks. ToneWorks or ColorFalls can help…If you don’t have your copy, go into our store and get a download of any one of these that sound ‘right’ for you… So tell me, how did you finally forgive? And how has it affected your life since?
Breaking patterns is not just about your healing — it’s about the legacy you create. Even if you don’t have children, your life impacts your friends, partners, community, and future generations in ways you may not even realize.
Breaking generational cycles isn't about rejecting your family, it’s about creating new pathways for yourself & generations after you. Transformation takes both unlearning & relearning.
We inherit more from our families than DNA or last names. We also inherit ways of thinking, behaving, and relating. But what's the cost of carrying what isn't yours?
We inherit more from our families than DNA or last names. We also inherit ways of thinking, behaving, and relating. Some of these patterns are beautiful — resilience, creativity, hospitality, faith. Others are heavier — silence, avoidance, cycles of debt, emotional repression, or even abuse.
It’s easy to get defensive when your partner changes. But curiosity is what keeps intimacy alive. When you lead with curiosity, you're saying: “You don’t have to shrink for me. I want to know the real you—even as you evolve.”
You don’t have to love the same hobbies to love each other well. What matters most is respecting what brings your partner joy—even if you don’t fully understand it.
A strong relationship isn’t about doing everything together. It’s about finding enough shared space to keep choosing each other again and again as you both evolve.
Change doesn’t have to pull you apart. But silence will. Keep the lines open. Let the conversations be messy, honest, and ongoing.
When your partner changes, resist the urge to pull away or pretend nothing is different. Lean in. Speak up. Be curious, not critical.
