I'm Sorry?

Wow.  It's been over a month since I last posted.  Bad, bad, bad blogger.  I could write the usual excuses - work, everyday life, holidays, stress, traveling, family, projects, friends.  Oh my.  It's true, it has been an exceptionally time for me. In short, I've been writing my hands to the bone, flew to New York City to meet all the FrockOn girls (each one of them is incredible), survived the holidays and am back in business.

Today I am reminded of forgiveness.  I've noticed that I am really quick to forgive others and usually give others the benefit of the doubt. For some reason, when it comes to myself, I will hold a grudge for months.  Other people can make mistakes, learn form their actions, try something and fail, but not me. This is something I've been working on for a long time, but I'm finding it really hard.  Why do we do this to ourselves? A close friend reminds me all the time that as long as you learn from your mistake, it really isn't much of a mistake.

What can you forgive yourself for today? How do you go about it? Are you harder on yourself than others? Are you harder on others than yourself? Keep track of that critical inner voice today and see what it has to say.  'Shut Up' is a phrase that may come in handy.
