This Saturday, I wrote one of my most popular Facebook Posts, one that got tons of "likes" and comments:
- "You know you're really a writer when (as a spiritual releasing exercise) you write the apology/acknowledgment letter that someone in your past should send you -- a letter that seems extraordinarily unlikely that the real person will ever write -- and then you spend another hour editing it so it's totally perfect, before you sign their name and pop it in the mail to yourself."

Writing really has the power to heal and inspire, and in this case, bring about a kind of forgiveness I didn't really think was possible.
So if there's that letter (or phone call) that you need to receive on some deep level, but know in your heart that the odds aren't in your favor of ever actually getting it in the mail ... write it and send it to yourself.
If you're like me, you'll be amazed at the changes it can bring ....
