			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Good evening. I read a quote today that said &#8220;If you want to be a part of my future, you must forget my past.&#8221; I like this. I think too often we get stuck in the pattern of either comparing people to those from past relationships or trying to maintain current relationships by simply doing the opposite of what we&#8217;ve done in the past. Either way you look at it, our past is still dictating our future. We can&#8217;t expect others to forget who we once were if we, ourselves, won&#8217;t let go. Healed hearts love. Unhealed hearts&#8230;well they continue to hurt, and in most cases, they hurt more than just us. Heal. Move forward. Be vulnerable. A great writer once said, &#8220;If you&#8217;re a fool for Love, you&#8217;re no fool at all. Vulnerability is a sign of strength, an absence of fear.&#8221;</p>
<p>Peace &#8211; Kimberly</p>
