I release the need...

to blame anyone, including myself.  We are all doing the best we can with the understanding, knowledge, and awareness we have. " Louise Hay

I found this quote hit the nail on the head after  I struggled all day to discover new perception of an experience I had on Thanksgiving.  I was realllllllllllllllllly in the blame game of someone else's behavior being hurtful to me.  I sloshed it around my heart and mind, convinced I was right.  I even got others to agree. 

I thought "this is the end of the relationship" 
I remembered a teacher once said, when you are not getting along with someone, it is time to look within.  I followed the hurt, it swelled to anger, then pride, abandonment...where was I letting this bother me, giving my power to it.  My 5 year old- being told she was not good enough...she believed it.  I can choose anew.  That was just someone having their opinion...

I didn't realize I was blaming.

Gosh, I forgave myself.

After doing several more imaginary cartwheels and  flips through my deck of Louise Hay,  this card said it all. 

Thank you thank you Louise for being a guide in peace creating.
