1. Forgive the person who has offended you. As you forgive you are forgiven. 2. Pray for the person who sees only your body. Those who do not see the light of the Goddess in others do not see it in themselves. 3. Be still. Breathe in. Breathe out. Allow the peace that is your center flow freely through your entire being. 4. Love flows freely from the heart that has let go of violence. Love does not know attack. 5. Honor the divine and glorious in others, but not at the expense of overlooking your own. 6. See the divine hand of the Goddess in all experiences and miracles will happen. 7.

Take time each day to talk to the Goddess. 10. Take time each day to listen to the Goddess.
