In my 20s, I was glad to meet my biological mother who had given me up for adoption. But I was unable to overcome feelings of abandonment. We fought. After 10 years without contact, I called her. She told me about spending Christmas at an unwed mothers’ home while pregnant with me. The staff asked what she wanted for Christmas. “Chanel No. 5 perfume,” she said. They mocked her, then gave her socks instead. I softened and sent her the perfume, which arrived on Christmas Eve. On her card, I wrote: “You deserved this then and you deserve it now.” — Jessica Reed
Positively Purging-I welcome your feedbacks in the comments and your likes and passing the real life wisdom on to others as I embark on this new venture of “positively purging”, as I know each of these pieces represents something…
Real Life of an MSW 
Forgiveness is life. I was just telling a young lady yesterday to let it go and forgive. I’m not saying go on trips or gift anything but forgive and I mean truly forgive. Let it go. Move on. And love. Love the person that hurt you b/c they need it. They need it more than you think they do. Their spirit grows when you return to them what they give but you can bring them over to the other side when you show them grace and mercy.

Tupac Shakur explained the concept of “love your neighbor” very well when he said, “Just because you lost me as a friend, doesn’t mean you gained me as an enemy. I’m bigger than that, I still wanna see you eat, just not at my table.” What if we could look at everyone around us and never see an enemy?

I love the Jesus way! I’m going to forgive you and you can still eat my table….Jesus got me! I wonder why its so easy for us to quote things other than the Bible? I see it happening often. Everyone is entitled to their own but just wondering! Like the Bible is a sound and true roadmap….Wonder if we all followed that…….
