I came kicking and screaming to the work of forgiveness. Thought I had it all figured out. Until I had to do the hard work: forgiving institutions, forgiving myself, forgiving 9/11, forgiving life. I remember the first time I really heard the beautiful quotation from the late Nelson Mandela: "Not to forgive is like drinking poison and waiting for your enemies to die from it." Wow. Changed my life. Anyone out there still drinking the poison? Let's talk!

My passion is to teach and speak on topics ranging from forgiveness, peace making in the world, conflict transformation, and coping with public tragedy. Please email or call me at 310-710-4322 to arrange a presentation.
