I do feel however for the little ones who do not even get a chance to experience their lives. I send out love and healing for all concerned hoping people will get why :roll: they are here, their life purpose. Arohanui Tania :smile: A very touching movie, watched it many times.

I have Eight kids and twelve grand-kids (at present). About ten years ago my wife almost destroyed the family with her depression and continual drinking. They were all saying they hated her for the way she behaved, and the way she didn't care about them and their future. I tried to put over the same message. Don't hold grudges, and try and forgive her. After all they only get one Mum. A couple did, the rest totally disowned her. That was until she was just a few days from death nearly three years ago now due to liver failure. It was only THEN they realised how much they wished they HAD forgiven her before. Now it was too late. They felt enormous guilt for a while, but because they WERE able to feel that they weren't quite too late, they've got on with their lives 'guilt-free' now, and are relatively successful in their lives. Except for the eldest, who is still carrying hi guilt around with him, and heading for the same demise. Forgiving other people is the single BEST thing you can do for YOURSELF. Thanks Joe. Pete.

There are no one out there, only our own reflection, we only can see what we know about our selves, and when we say we cannot for-give, it means we are not been able to love our selves, because if there is no one out there and only us, we are for-given our selves.

I believe that I have forgiven my parents, and instead of carrying resentment or regrets for what I suffered in my childhood, I feel gratitude for the strengths that I have gained from those difficult times.

Am looking forward to the new book as well. Anyway, I am a police officer in a small town near Austin and when I am around these kids, it breaks my heart to see how much they just want someone to NOTICE them. There are a lot of great parents out there, but some are so clueless that their kids will do anything, even the wrong thing to get attention. I hate having to put these kids into the system when I can tell they are very intelligent and with some guidance, could do great things. I try to take the time to look them in the eyes and tell them that they have worth and can do anything they want and the cool thing is, the choice is completely THEIRS! Thanks for letting me vent! :grin: Hi Joe, Love your website! Am looking forward to the new book as well.

So far 11 men from one gang have been arrested and it looks like another is being sought out. And what was the crime? Well, Jhia Te Tua, aged 2, died in a gang-related shooting at her house in May. She was asleep on the couch. A lot of forgiveness to go on here but wonder if it will ever happen.

When I first began studying the law of attraction, this is one area I found to be a necessary step. Something I've been learning is that I have to forgive myself for some of the stupid things I've done! I don't call it forgiveness, I call it acceptance. And it's awesome to accept myself, accept where I am now, and then open those doors wide open to receive the powerful reality that is my dreams and true desires. Okay, that was a little too wordy, sorry bout that!:roll: This is absolutely true. When I first began studying the law of attraction, this is one area I found to be a necessary step.

After sending you and email, I have just found out about the comments option :) Again, I must say that even here, far away in Slovenia people LOVE your work, especially the attractor factor, and as a secondary school teacher of English I must say it again that the film you are talking about is great, inspirational, and that I am actually thinking of showing it to the kids now that we have only a few days of school left..these days are usually more relaxed if the grading is over.

These young people just want to feel they are in a "family group" where they can get love and give love, which is why some of them call each other "brothers", even though they get off to a start in life doing it. Your blogs have really been just wonderful and so inspiring to many of us! And I know personally that your books have changed lives! I look forward everyday to reading them!
