SJennyWhen we talked focusing on growth in a post a few days ago, I suggested you look back in your forgiveness journal and see just how much you’ve grown as a person. I thought it was only fitting that we wrap up this 30 Day Forgiveness Challenge by taking a look back and reflecting on how far we’ve all come over the course of a month. We covered a lot of different topics. We dug deep to find out what’s keeping us from embracing forgiveness. We made a daily effort to forgive and make it a habit we’ll carry forward with is from here on out.
Let’s take a quick walk down memory lane and browse through all the different topics we covered over the past 29 days. Here’s a quick rundown:

Take a few minutes today to reflect on not only how far you’ve come, but more importantly how this simple 30 day challenge has influenced you and changed you for the better. What positive experiences have you had as a result of embracing forgiveness? Do you feel less trapped, freed and happier? I hope that’s the case and I hope you’ve not only enjoyed our little journey towards forgiveness, but benefited from it. Most of all I hope you’ve developed a new habit of forgiveness that you will carry forward through the rest of your life. If I’m really lucky, you’ll even pass it on and teach your children. Let’s spread this message of forgiveness far and wide.
