How To Forgive; Dara McKinley

Dara McKinley teaches how to forgive. After studying psychology and spirituality for most of her life, an unlikely turn of events pointed Dara toward the forgiveness path. Upon searching online for a forgiveness how-to, Dara only found information about why one should forgive. Needing directions to follow, she decided to make her own forgiveness step-by-step, which, upon completion, left her feeling peaceful for the first time in three years. Impressed by the effectiveness of forgiveness, she quickly became a devotee and now changes lives by teaching participants about her practical spiritual process that restores inner peace.
