Here’s a cool thing: some listeners asked me to share my essay on forgiveness in a stand alone piece so they could send it to friends and family who had been forgiving with them over the years like an audio thank you card. So, by request, I’m sharing the uncut (and actually expanded) version of the piece I wrote first for the podcast and then for The New York Times with thanks to Rabbi Michael Lezak, Richard Enright PhD and Anne Lamott.
