Global Forgiveness Day: August 27

Are you holding onto an old grudge? Well, today is GLOBAL FORGIVENESS DAY, so what better time to learn what it means to truly forgive.

My spiritual mom and mentor, Jackie Kendall, has just released a revolutionary book entitled, “Free Yourself to Love”. If you’ve never heard Jackie’s testimony, you need to. In this book, she covers and possible excuse you could have for holding on to unforgiveness and kicks it in the butt!

If you’re struggling with any unforgiveness issues, whether they stem from abuse, past hurt, unmet expectations or all of the above, this book is for you! Click HERE to read her latest newsletter and get more information on the book.
