“I don’t think I take good enough care of my husband and parents,” I shared with my friend, Alicia.

She kept listening.

I had a thought. These guilty ideas strangle me. They keep me away from being present in this current moment. My focus is reduced to pain … instead of the divinity the Goddess placed within me.

I have a particular insight for you.

“One sentence solves guilt: If I knew then what I know now, I would have done things differently. … Guilt is in the past, and the one thing you cannot change is the past.” – Dr. Edith Eger

So, divinity is in this present moment.

Now what?

I realize that I can use a twinge from an idea of guilt.

I can ask, “So I didn’t like how what I did in the past turned out. What can I do now? What is a different approach now?”

Here is a prayer you can use:

Goddess, show me my true path.
Give me guidance and lead me forward.
Release me from guilty thoughts,
Replace them with inspiration.
So Mote It Be.

May these ideas support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater
