How do I forgive?Nobel laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu has witnessed some of the worst crimes people can inflict on others. So wherever he goes, he inevitably gets asked this question. This book is his answer. Writing with his daughter, Mpho, an Anglican priest, they lay out the simple but profound truths about the significance of forgiveness, how it works, why everyone needs to know how to grant it and receive it, and why granting forgiveness is the greatest gift we can give to ourselves when we have been wronged.They explain the four-step process of forgiveness Telling the Story, Naming the Hurt, Granting Forgiveness, and Renewing or Releasing the Relationship as well as offer meditations, exercises, and prayers to guide the reader along the way."With each act of forgiveness, whether small or great, we move toward wholeness," they write. "Forgiveness is how we bring peace to ourselves and our world.""

Lovely audio about the process of forgiveness. There are activities in each section for journaling and a stone exercise to help visualize moving on from a hurt, forgiving someone or yourself.

A convicting book that shows a path to emotional freedom. His words are straightforward and easy to comprehend, but Tutu‘s thoughts on forgiveness are profound and challenging. Grace can be found here.

There is a book I want to read that is locked inside a library in Lake Arrowhead. Grrrr ...

Bars are open. I can get a drink and sit around while pepple breathe all over me, but I can't place holds and pick them up curbside.

A friend is getting a group together to read tagged and discuss on Zoom. I want in, but I'm broke and the library's still closed. It's not on Overdrive. Grrr.

Not my biggest problem, but what's bugging me at the moment. 🤪

Chelsea.Poole That's frustrating! 😣 Our library is open now but while it was closed you could still contact someone to access your card information to get hooked up with overdrive/hoopla. Maybe try calling or emailing...? 5y
SleepyDragon @Chelsea.Poole I've been using Overdrive, but they county hasn't purchase this particular title in digital format. 5y

CogsOfEncouragement Ugh, I‘m sorry. Our city library opens today. Returns go in the outdoor drop off bin. Check outs are by online request and then an appointment time for outdoor pickup. 5y
Susanita From some of the posts from librarians on Twitter, I think it may have something to do with PPE for library staff? But yeah this patchwork approach to reopening is a little weird. 5y
SleepyDragon @CogsOfEncouragement That's all I want. Well, that and a virtual SRP for the kids online. I asked the district on FB about a summer reading program, and they said vaguely that they plan to do one "when they reopen in phase 3." I don't know if I want to take my 4 yr olds to in person programs this summer. All I want is to return the books I'm afraid my 12 yr old will misplace before they take them back and curbside pickup of holds. 5y
SleepyDragon @Susanita I mean, I get that different areas have to reopen slower than others, but I can literally go into Barnes and Noble and browse now, but the library can't do curbside? That's what baffles me. 5y

Does Desmond Tutu count as a celebrity? 😃He's definitely at the top of my list! Had to tag a different book, this one isn't on Litsy. I had the pleasure of meeting him in South Africa in 2000...a life-changing experience!
