Using Forgiveness To Boost Healing, Health & Harmony in Life

By Rosalind Sedacca, CDC With a new year looming before us, there’s no better time to reflect on ways we can let go of hurt, guilt, anxiety, anger and other emotions that destroy our inner peace and harmony. One of the most effective ways to heal from within is through the power of FORGIVENESS! Forgiveness is a decision to let go of resentment, pain, hurt as well as thoughts of revenge. Forgiving doesn't mean you are forgetting or denying the pain and hurt. It means you are releasing the grip it has over your life. It means you choose to focus on more positive facets of life for your own well-being. Forgiving does not mean you deny the other person's responsibility in hurting you, nor does it minimize that pain. We don't forgive for the other person. We forgive because of the value it brings to us! Through forgiveness you can better

Divorce Is Tough – And Even Tougher On Teens!

Learn how to Support Teens Through Divorce & Co-Parenting Challenges By Rosalind Sedacca, CDC We all know divorce is tough on families. Everyone is affected, especially the children. In most cases, the older the children, the more complex the reaction and more difficult the adaptation. There are many reasons why.

For teenagers that resistance is compounded by a tendency to test boundaries and rock the status quo. Divorce or
