Our speaker today was Chris Heacock, PhD, educator, author and psychology researcher (and also our club President’s wife). She shared insights into her book, “Being Human is Hard: Choose Forgiveness. This book was based on her doctorate thesis. She interviewed 13 people who forgave major offenses and came from 10 different belief systems. Forgiveness is not condoning what’s been done to you, it’s uncovering and understanding a painful event, and moving beyond shame, anger and blame. Her subjects felt free and took their power back. Her book can be found at Amazon.com.
