I go see every Super Hero movie. The latest one was Wonder Woman, and I even took my seven year old granddaughter —before I realized it was PG! (Sorry, Maisie, for having to cover your eyes sometimes!)
The reason I wanted her to see it was because Wonder Woman stood for the Power of Love — which is a good message to share.
I wanted her to know we are all Super Heroes, with infinite strength to create what we want. And I think one of our best super-powers is the Power of Forgiveness.
We all have the Power of Forgiveness, but we just don’t always use it. When we do exercise our Power, miracles occur.
(1) We can turn back time.
Forgiveness gives us the ability to “start over.” We can reboot, re-do, or renew a relationship without the need to rehash every insult or slight. We can begin again, and create a better relationship with a sense of peace and inner balance.
(2) We can lift heavy burdens.
We don’t have to carry around the weight of resentment, judgment and blame. We can set ourselves free from the stories we tell ourselves, and experience the lightness of being present, and open to new possibilities.
(3) We can see through barriers.
Instead of seeing someone who hurt or offended us through the barricades of anger and bitterness , we can lower those walls around our heart, and change the filters through which we see the other, and create appropriate boundaries — without needing total cutoffs.
(4) We become impervious to pain.
Forgiveness sets us free from re-hashing or re-living the past. When we no longer focus on what offended us, we can put our attention on what brings us
joy. Especially when we forgive ourselves.
(5) We stand for what is right and good.
When we forgive ourselves for mistakes we have made, we allow ourselves to embrace our humanity as well as our divinity. (To err is human, to forgive, divine.) When we forgive others, it sets us free and allows us to view the other from a kinder perspective, whether or not we choose to interact with them again.
Wielding the Power of Forgiveness makes us all Super Heroes — because forgiveness is a daily practice.
We can always
start over
liberate ourselves from “old stories”
break through the barriers of judgment and blame
free ourselves from pain
see both the human and the divine in everyone
So yes, Virginia (Maisie), there really is a Wonder Woman.
The Power of Surrender is the subject of my LoveNote this month. Surrender is often the most empowering choice we can make.

If you’re not sure what to do about an your relationship, please take the Unhappy Marriage Quiz to learn how to make things better.
This article may not pertain to you, but it may help someone you know. Please feel free to forward it to them.
I hope you have the relationship you desire and deserve. Do you ever have challenges that feel difficult to overcome?
When you experience conflict with your partner or spouse, it is often not what you are saying but how you are saying it that can cause problems.
When there is fighting, withdrawal, distancing, or an impasse over issues — such as finances, parenting, sex, or basic communication skills — you may revert to some coping mechanisms that become bad habits and erode the love you once shared.
You may want to improve your marriage, but don’t know how to resolve your differences. Marriage counseling can help, but may not address the ambivalence one or both of you feel about staying in the relationship.
In other situations, you may desire to peacefull separation, but without the proper guidance and support, you can end up with devastated children, broken hearts, depleted finances, and destroyed businesses.
In my 25 years of counseling hundreds of women and men, I have observed the people in the most pain are the ones who are not sure if they want to stay or go.
Sadly, some people leave when they could have stayed, and others stay when they should have left.
The good news is that there is help, and that’s what I’m here to offer. I can help you learn all of your options for healing and hope in your relationship.
That’s why I am inviting you to come to (or share) my upcoming FREE LIVE Webinar on June 8th at 1PM CST:
It only takes one person to make a positive difference, and you can be the one to set that intention.
In our time together, I will:
Cover the 5 questions to help you get clear on what you want and need.
Offer ways to calmly discuss every issue that causes conflict.
Discuss all the options available to you.
Show you how to forgive yourself and your partner
Add more compassion into the healing process.
Answer your questions
And so much more!
You can learn how to communicate from your highest and best SELF, and begin to create a more peaceful and loving dynamic in your home.
Instead of being triggered and reactive to your partner’s actions, you can learn how to become more calm, clear, and compassionate as you resolve your differences.
The Webinar is FREE and even if you can’t make it live, you’ll have access to the replay.
You can also send me questions you’d like me to address to support@LindaKroll.com, and I’ll answer them live on the webinar. Anything you send me will be confidential and anonymous.
I’d love to help you —or someone you know — get clear on how to stop feeling stuck — and begin to make calm, clear, and confident decisions.
I’m looking forward to taking this journey with you.
Compassionately,
Linda

I combine SELF-leadership and higher consciousness, along with legal and financial information, to offer a new paradigm for relationship healing and transformation.

They then learn the larger lessons from their relationships and proceed based on the best interests of all involved… This is relationship healing at its best.”
