Trio's Tips:
Diana-Forgiveness is Love, un-forgiveness is hate. Forgive the wrongs done by others to you, and perhaps others will forgive you for your wrongs.
Nicky- Healing comes from having faith and love in your heart.
Randye- Sometimes the only thing left to change about a situation is your reaction to it, and your thoughts about it.
