Dear Reader, Last year, after walking the Camino, I found myself in a park in Oviedo sitting next to this statue of Mafalda. I had to smile thinking about my sister, who absolutely adored this little cartoon character. She even looked a bit like her. This picture got me thinking about how we adults get so caught up analyzing everything. We watch the news, we worry, we plan, we overthink. But that pure part of us—our inner child—still sees the world with wonder, joy, and optimism. The intellect worries; the heart knows. This week's Heartstream on self-forgiveness is an invitation to reconnect with that innocent part of you. When we forgive ourselves, we're basically embracing that child within who never needed forgiveness in the first place.

Invitation: Join Me Live for Sunday's Heartstream
