Forgiveness can be a challenging journey, especially when someone repeatedly hurts you. In this post, I explore my personal method of approaching forgiveness through three stages: reflection, decisiveness, and acceptance. It’s essential to fully understand the situation and your role before making a decision about how to move forward. I share how these steps help me avoid rushing into forgiveness and the importance of healing before forgiving. It’s a process that takes time, and it’s okay to seek professional guidance as you navigate through it.

On August 5, I found myself at the local school district office, trying to figure out why my five-year-old hadn’t been assigned to a teacher or school despite submitting all the required documents. After a frustrating wait and a few phone calls, I finally got the issue resolved. But the real surprise came on the first day of kindergarten when I arrived at the school only to be told that my daughter wasn’t enrolled. In a bizarre twist, I was mistakenly registered as the kindergartner instead of her! This accidental mix-up had me laughing in disbelief, especially after hours of waiting at the registration office. Read on for the hilarious story of how I ended up being an “accidental kindergartner” for 72 hours!

In my search to uncover my family history, I’ve hit a few roadblocks that have left me with more questions than answers.

I’ve also been researching my second great-grandmother’s family, particularly her first cousin and the mystery surrounding their names and relationships. I’m uncovering interesting details, but there’s still much to explore. I’m excited to continue this journey and hopefully find more answers along the way.
