Forgive the brash, abrasiveness of her character. You know the one. The one that clearly has the ability to be on her best behavior in front of others only to bare her teeth when the light dims. Yes, you know her.
For this, your calluses have formed, your fuse has been lit. For years now you’ve heard the nails on the chalkboard. The nails on the chalkboard.
Why? Why this? It could have been better. We could have been the best of friends. It is not a competition, it never has been.
This is her doing. She created the divide, she did this. If only she hadn’t. I wish she hadn’t.
I know it’s heavy. I know it’s a burden you have carried for so long. I also know that you are a better parent to your children because of this contrast. You don’t want to be like her.
There is no shame, no guilt in this recognition either. This is not your cross to bear. It’s not yours to bear.
You don’t have to say it, the I forgive you’s. You don’t even have to write it in a letter to send. You do need to address it though if you want to have peace and resolve. It is enough to take a moment for yourself, maybe you’ll want to close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Then you are ready to let go. Let go of the if only’s, the I wish’s. Forgive her. Forgive her.
Find your compassion for the spoiled child that lost her way. Her limiting beliefs kept her cornered and small. Yes, it is sad but you must let that go, that was her choice not yours.
You choose forgiveness. You choose to be light in heart, light in love. You choose to be free of remorse for those regrets are not yours to carry. They are not yours. Not yours.
Find your gratitude for the good in your life. The stark contrast that allowed you to do better and be better.
Her lessons may not have been learned for this lifetime, that’s true. I know it was hard. I know it was twisted and unfair. I also know that you have weathered the storm. The sky is clearing. The waves are subsiding. You will have your peace. You will have peace.
Channeled message from Archangel Raphael, the angel of healing. He also said, “Wisdom is peace. Peace is wisdom. May you have both laid upon your life.”
