Happy belated birthday! I'm starting to incorporate #9 into my life — trying to do less but focus on the important things that actually move the needle

what a lovely gift to give all of us on your birthday. I resonated with everything - especially the the words on forgiveness. When I went through my divorce that ended 22 years due to betrayal, my first thought was I wanted him dead. But my therapist, in all her wisdom, said I had to learn to forgive him. Not for him, because he didn't care if I did or not, but for me so my heart would be opened up once again. The best advice ever!!! Thank you for your gift to us. I appreciate your words, and you.

I love #7 the most— ADD- awareness deficit disorder… that’s priceless. We all could address that one— and choose to hmmm..? A lot more often. I love your wisdom my friend! And happy birthday! Hope it’s wonderful and peaceful. 😌

Happy birthday, Dragon. Thank you for sharing these shifts with such honesty and strength.

A few really stayed with me:

✨ Forgiveness is not for them, it is freedom from them

✨ Drifting is normal, but coming back is the real power

✨ Victimhood feels safe, but choosing your power is what sets you free

These are not just ideas. They are lived truths, and I felt them.

Wishing you a strong and spacious new year. One that continues to make sense in all the best ways.

in quiet strength and sound,

Afterforever ✨🎵
