However, I discovered other encounters in my life that also required forgiveness. As I share my story, don\u2019t be misled into thinking my life is filled with hardship or pain. On the contrary, my life has been rich with enchanting, beautiful, and wonderful encounters\u2014far more than I can recount here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet, how we choose to react to one negative experience can overshadow the 99.9% of wonderful moments in our lives if we view everything through the lens of that single event. When I finally broke free from that perspective, I was able to fully experience all the beauty life had to offer\u2014100% of it. This freedom came from the choice to forgive, commit to it, and decide how to react to negative energy. In the end, I\u2019m grateful for those once-painful experiences because they led me to forgiveness, healing, and thriving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the conclusion of my story, I will share the process I used to achieve forgiveness. Be prepared, though\u2014true forgiveness isn\u2019t easy. It\u2019s a long, ongoing process and a lifelong practice. It\u2019s not a one-time event. However, after reading this book, I hope you too can find the freedom I discovered by releasing all the negativity that was holding you back and embracing positive outcomes. I let go of anger, bitterness, and resentment, replacing them with joy, happiness, and peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My goal is to guide you on your own forgiveness journey, to help you find the peace necessary for growth and thriving. Forgiveness is for you and is a powerful tool for your success. It allows you to reclaim power from those who hurt you, transforming what happened to you into something that works for you\u2014and it all begins in your mind. I believe you cannot heal without forgiving, and you cannot grow without healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, forgive, heal, grow, and thrive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/authorwebservices-temp4.net\/WestBowPress\/864097\/excerpt\/\" style=\"border-radius:5px\">Read an excerpt<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westbowpress.com\/en\/bookstore\/bookdetails\/864097-the-art-of-forgiveness\" style=\"border-radius:5px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Order a copy<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/authorwebservices-temp4.net\/WestBowPress\/864097\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/cover-flat-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-150 size-medium\" srcset=\"https:\/\/authorwebservices-temp4.net\/WestBowPress\/864097\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/cover-flat-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/authorwebservices-temp4.net\/WestBowPress\/864097\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/cover-flat-679x1024.jpg 679w, https:\/\/authorwebservices-temp4.net\/WestBowPress\/864097\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/cover-flat-768x1159.jpg 768w, https:\/\/authorwebservices-temp4.net\/WestBowPress\/864097\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/cover-flat.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-full.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-16","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/authorwebservices-temp4.net\/WestBowPress\/864097\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/authorwebservices-temp4.net\/WestBowPress\/864097\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/authorwebservices-temp4.net\/WestBowPress\/864097\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/authorwebservices-temp4.net\/WestBowPress\/864097\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/authorwebservices-temp4.net\/WestBowPress\/864097\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16"}],"version-history":[{"count":70,"href":"https:\/\/authorwebservices-temp4.net\/WestBowPress\/864097\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":799,"href":"https:\/\/authorwebservices-temp4.net\/WestBowPress\/864097\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16\/revisions\/799"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/authorwebservices-temp4.net\/WestBowPress\/864097\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
