      I too wish we had the means to give more to this worthy project, but Uncle Sam just took a bunch of what we had for good causes like this one. I am paying it forward further by helping get the word out via my social media channels though (@sandyjk)! Here's to your success! Best, Sandy (Suzanne Duret pointed me to Project: Forgive)

God bless you all and thank you for taking this leap of faith and spreading the most simple, yet most misunderstood concept in the world - forgiveness.

      Forgiveness gave me my 'personal power' back. That's why I am such a passionate backer of Project Forgive. I love being part of Project Forgive, nothing creates a 'feeling good state of mind' in me faster than waking up every morning with new thoughts and ideas to share with people about the incredible POWER forgiveness is bringing into people's lives. - (e)FREDERICKZ

      Without Landmark Education I would not have access to the distinction of "forgiveness" that has allowed me to complete the past & move forward to create a life of my choosing. Forgiveness of myself & others is access to peace & love & new possibilities. Thank you Shawne for creating Project Forgive. ~ Trina (friend of the Weinstein's & Bernier's)
