A special thank you to all those who have contributed their time and energy. A special shout out to Manny Goldman, Fabienne Fredrickson, Nick Ortner, David Boufford, John Morton and Drs.

Forgiveness changes lives.  It changed mine.  It can change yours.

Stay tuned.

The Power of Forgiveness: Project Forgive

My friend Shawne Duperon is both wise and wonderful. She is a living example of what’s possible when you step into forgiveness. In her case, moving from the pain of incest into the power of presence, caring, sharing and living her authentic truth. She’s come a long way from her childhood and built a bridge for others who struggle with their own challenges.

Enter Project Forgive!

But first a little more about Shawne.

She’s a six-time EMMY winner,
has interviewed most US Presidents and hundreds
of celebrities. She’s an awesome presenter who
travels the globe speaking on transformational media

Here’s what I know about Shawne, my friend.
She’s down to earth. Generous. Kind.
Unafraid to speak from the heart. Compelling.
Funny. Wise. Committed. On a mission to share the power
of forgiveness in everyday life.

That mission is a documentary called Project Forgive. The script is done, Scott Rosenfelt has already signed on as producer.
He’s the guy who discovered Julia Roberts and produced more than 30 feature films – think “Home Alone” and Sundance Film Festival winner “Smoke Signals.” (I totally loved that movie!)
She has major celebrities on board offering to go public with their own forgiveness stories.

Today, her friends gave her a surprise birthday present – an early launching of Project Forgive on her behalf.
We’re doing it for her, for us, and for our world. It’s time for an antidote to fear, hatred, and hurt.

“The journey of forgiveness is not a journey of forgiveness. It is a journey of love. It’s actually the process of self-discovery, of what love really is. Then you get to this point where you can forgive the most unforgivable things and miracles really start to manifest…” Shawne Duperone

I’m reaching out to my friends and family to help make this movie a reality. If you’ve ever wanted to be involved in making a great movie, now’s the time!

We’ve had great momentum and big wins! Scott Rosenfelt has already signed on as producer.
He’s discovered Julia Roberts and produced more than 30 feature films – think “Home Alone” and Sundance Film Festival winner “Smoke Signals.” (I totally loved that movie!)

Finding Grace

Finding Grace

Wm. Shakespeare

"That which we call a rose..."

 

Perhaps grace is not so much to be found as it is to be received.
It rides on gratitude, appreciation and forgiveness.
It is free of ego, desire or manipulation. It comes and goes
as it pleases, leaving sweetness in the air.
Will you open the door and invite grace to enter?
Maybe it’s time.
