Parents


Parents

by Veronika Sophia Robinson


I begin my work day by shuffling a 64-card Power Thought deck (Louise Hay affirmations). Today's reads: "I see my parents as tiny children who need love.

I have compassion for my parents' childhoods. I now know that I chose them because they were perfect for what I had to learn. I forgive them and set them free, and I set myself free."

People new to the idea that we 'choose our parents' can become very defensive and angry. Another way to look at the above affirmation is this ~ would I want my own children to forgive me for all my failings and faults?
