Forgiveness...

If you do not forgive others, how could you expect them to forgive you. Forgiveness swings both ways because we all, in one way or another hurt someone else, whether wittingly or unwittingly. Forgiveness and Peace are both God given forms of Grace, freely available to everyone. Who dares to cast the first stone? Each one of us has the potential for good and bad. Let us not be so conceited that we forget that we too, far more than we care to acknowledge, have hurt or done wrong to others. We all need forgiveness and peace, whether we believe it or not. We are all worthy of God's Love and Peace, because He loves us. We should pray for one another and encourage one another as the Bible tells us to. We should remain humble, so that 'there but for the Grace of God, go I'. I therefore have reservations about the following quote which I often see on Facebook... 'Forgive others, not because they deserve forgiveness, but because you deserve peace.' May God bless each and everyone of us. Amen. Catherine...x

Karma - Get it right.

Today, I have decided to make a point of sorting this out once and for all. The misuse of the word Karma in social media is rather frustrating. 

The definition of Karma in the Collins Dictionary:
Karma n Hinduism, Buddhism a person's actions affecting his or her fate in the next reincarnation.

The sooner we let go of the idea that we must always have revenge -especially when we use Karma in the wrong sense of the word as our excuse to do it for us, as I have seen stated in social media - the sooner there will be an abundance of love and peace flowing in the world. Your own actions create your own Karma. 

Let go and move forward in peace and love. 

Namaste

I love this photograph. I can't remember where I found it on the web most likely a Yoga website. Thank you to whomever took this photograph, it captures the essence of Yoga for me.
