Hey team, Yesterday I wrote my first forgiveness letter, to my mum. Today I wrote the second one, to my dad, who passed away some years ago. I realised from our Deep Breathwork, that there is definitely some releasing needing to be done - to move forward. And I want to share something about this process, not for sympathy, but because I think some of you might be carrying something similar and not know there's a way to put it down. My dad wasn't a bad man. He was a man who had a really tough start in life, and that shaped the kind of father he was able to be. He didn't have a blueprint for how to do it well. And as a kid, I didn't understand that. I just knew it hurt. What SAGE helped me do was work through the letter section by section. What happened. How it felt. What it cost me in terms of the patterns I carried into my adult life. What I actually needed from him. And where I stand now, at 60, looking back with both honesty and compassion. Here's what surprised me: **I didn't end the letter angry.** I ended it with love. Ik hou van je, papa. Real love. Not the people-pleasing kind where you pretend everything's fine. The kind where you see someone clearly, including their flaws and their wounds, and you choose love anyway. On your terms. The thing that hit me hardest was realising how many of my patterns, the people-pleasing, the fear of abandonment, the struggle with boundaries, trace back to things I learned as a little girl. Not because anyone set out to hurt me. But because hurt people raise hurt people, until someone decides to break the cycle. That's what these letters are doing for me. Breaking the cycle. Closing loops that have been open for decades. If you're sitting on something like this, old pain, unfinished conversations, someone you never got to say the real stuff to, whether they're alive or not... I'd really encourage you to give this a go. SAGE has a brilliant template and walks you through it one section at a time. You don't have to do it perfectly. You just have to be honest.

Low every day, but it's pretty cool to understand WHY! And I still got my minimum stuff done and worried with my organizing client today. Took a nap after that though - it was hard physically work today.
