And the way that I think of it is like we're on a healing journey, you know, and so we get a chance to kind of go in and out of these moments.
And that's the power and beauty of being present in your life is you can recognize like, hey, you know, today was a tougher day than yesterday, but I'm still thankful.
And that allows me to kind of move forward.
And so, you know, for me, it's really like offering these keys for people to be able to kind of move in and out of these moments and recognizing that we're constantly in a state of healing, especially with grief, because it's the one hidden prison that will be a recurring theme in your life if you live long enough.
You know, you're going to lose loved ones.
You're going to lose opportunities.
You're going to lose relationships.
And some of them you just outgrow.
And then some of them are fractured and all the things.
And so just having those tools that you can kind of go back to is something I wanted to really provide in an evergreen way.
Yeah, I think that oftentimes we're going through life and we're holding on and we're harboring resentment and anger and bitterness towards somebody who's done us an egregious harm.

And so for me, what I realized is that forgiveness is what you do for yourself.
You know, grace you extend to others, but the power and beauty of forgiving is really that you're freeing yourself up to live your best life possible.
And the way that it showed up in my life is I was shot in March of 1990.
I was literally 17 years old.
And several decades later, I got a letter from the man who shot me.
And he apologized.
