Satori, the Radical Forgiveness board game, keeps fulfilling me – and surprising me too! Yesterday I played with a friend I’ve met while doing my Ridgerunning job on the Appalachian Trail for the past four summers. We finally got a chance to play! What impressed me this time was how compatible the game is to people of all faiths and expressions of the Divine. Even though her words to describe the Divine Power, forgiveness, and the balance of right and wrong are different than those in the game, she could see that Radical Forgiveness is a universal tool and language for something we can all use, no matter what we believe!
Thanks, Rachael!
Play Satori soon! https://www.forgivenesswalks.com/satori
I am trying something new. It’s IFTTT. As far as I can tell, and as I understand I set it up, this post will trigger my WordPress blog to post this as a blogpost. Could be cool. Hope it works.

Business or Ministry or???
How I structure this “project” of creating a wave of radical forgiveness along the Appalachian Trail corridor is a question I’ve been turning over and over.
Do I give away my services as a coach, freely sharing the energy-shifting tools, seats at Satori games, places in Circle Ceremonies, trip planning articles and calls, speaking engagements, food preparation lessons, tarp-making instructions? I could ask for donations, or simply rely on the good graces of my benefactors or on The Universe to provide my needs.
The Fantasy
Just suppose that in one month- or just a little bit more- I have an automated online product that generates my ideal amount.
I’ll start right off with feeling how wonderful it feels to click open the pages that describe it. Pride and joy surge through my body. Connection with my collaborators and technicians reverberates with the smile on my face.
Gratitude for the customers who came through with purchases swells my heart. I am willing to receive.
The simple webpage is beautiful and functional.
The mobile theme really works!
The mobile membership plugin is awesome. Simple really is best!
My tribe responded with amazing clarity and useful feedback. I delivered what they requested/what they want.
All is well.
I am blessed.
I am helpful and purposeful.
I give and receive in joy and value to inspire and generate healthy self-love that multiplies and develops into generous self expression and sharing for my customers.
This is the true spirit of my work and I’m so glad to be doing my real job!
Satori Dreams
I played Satori, the Radical Forgiveness board game today. This game brought up for healing and release my fear of being out in the world with my dream of enticing others to connect with Nature and with our true nature of being spiritual beings having a human experience.
All of the beliefs and blocks that I chose lead me to really feel that I keep myself hidden in self doubt and afraid to express my passion for my God-given vocation.
In the game, I was inspired to radically forgive my “wasband” (isn’t that a more loving word than “ex-husband”?) AND to love myself feeling jealous of another coach.
How Do I Know I’ve Forgiven?
The other day, a client asked me this. My answer: When you can THANK the person you’re forgiving for giving you this opportunity to learn and grow.
What?!!
You’re kidding, right?
No. I’m serious.
I’m also talking about Radical Forgiveness, which calls only for a tiny bit of willingness to be open to the possibility that from a spiritual perspective everything happens for a reason.
Everything?
Yes, everything. We’re talking radical here.
Right.
And we’re talking about even the smallest, tiniest, littlest inkling of willingness to be the slightest bit open to the most minuscule possibility that this could have a remote possibility of healing and purpose from a spiritual perspective. There’s a lot of wiggle room here.
Retracing Steps – With Forgiveness this Time
This week I walked a short section of the Appalachian Trail where I had experienced an upset the first time I walked there six years ago. This time, however, I had the tools of Radical Forgiveness with me and instead of upset I had healing and release!
As the Earth passed under my feet, those old emotions surfaced and the memories of being misunderstood, ignored, abandoned and shunned by my hiking partner popped up along with the feelings I had felt at that time. It amazed me how little I remembered of the trail itself, the terrain, the forest, the route. All the feelings came right back, though! I could feel them in my body!
Gratitude Begets Blessings
As a traveler, when I go into town with gratitude, I leave with blessings bestowed and friends everywhere.
Cloistered Nomad
I sold my house yesterday.
My nomadic lifestyle has now begun in earnest.
I have the urge to enclose myself, to delve deep inside to discover my new self.
One safe and at home wherever I am in the World.
For tonight, though, I am grateful for the luscious bed at my friend’s B&B near the Appalachian Trail. I lean into the familiar lifestyle of a carefully furnished and decorated home. (Not like my own home ever was!)
Tomorrow, or maybe the next day
My roaming can begin.
Tonight
Homelife grounds me, assuring me that someone is home.
