Girlfriends, Episode number 33, How to Forgive When It's Hard.

Hello and welcome to Girlfriends. I'm Danielle Bean. I'm a wife and a mom and I'm on a mission to help you.

Know your worth as a woman so you can find peace, balance, and joy and family living.

This week we are talking about the tough topic of learning how

to forgive, especially when it's hard. Let's get started. So glad you are here joining me on the newest episode of the Girlfriend's Podcast.

You know I love connecting with you here.

If you're a first-time listener, I want to give you a special welcome.

Thank you for showing up.

If you're a long time or sometime listener, welcome back.

Thanks for being a part of today's show.

So today we're going to be talking about forgiveness. But before I dive into that topic, I just want to say a thank you to those of you who've been joining me in the Girlfriend's Community. The last two episodes, I was introducing you to this new project that I'm excited to be working on, which is the Girlfriend's Community, an online community by and for Catholic women, specifically for the purpose

of connecting, encouraging, sharing our lives together, praying together, and growing in our

Catholic faith, growing in virtue together. We have monthly themes that focus on a different virtue each month,

and we are challenging each other and learning more about the virtue and seeing what the saints

have to say about those particular virtues. So for the month of August, we are focused,

for example, on the virtue of charity, and we are just working through that together.

But we are connecting in lots of different ways,

first of all, through ongoing conversations about faith, about family, about marriage, about

parenting, about wellness and homemaking, all of these things that we really care about,

all of the kinds of topics we take on here on the podcast. So if you enjoy the content that I

share here on Girlfriends, you really are going to enjoy being a member of the Girlfriend's Community.

And one of the most fun parts of launching this community for me has been getting to know some of you, especially through our live video chats.
