Ep09: Love for the Sake of Loving

Here's another episode originally released during the height of the COVID19 pandemic. One of the lessons I learned during that time was that you can't forgive unless you have love in your heart. If you don't have love for the forgiven, at least you should have love for yourself. And that's especially true for when you need to forgive yourself for past mistakes.

In the program, each meeting starts with the Serenity Prayer and ends with the Lord's Prayer. The beauty of the program is that a belief in God is not a prerequisite to partake of the benefits. All you need to do is acknowledge that there is a power greater than you or me. Here's mine... the one I call "My Great Spirit".
