How My Rhyming Rants, Funky Poems and Limericks Led Me to Forgive and Move On

By C.L. Whoo

How many times has someone really made you angry, but you didn’t speak up at the time? How long did the things you wanted to say roll around in your head, taking up your good energy and sometimes literally making you sick? The next thing you know you are screaming at that same person for accidentally spilling a little coffee and you look a little cray-cray, but only you know where that anger really came from. This is a simple and sometimes silly portrayal of how one person was so frustrated with all of the imaginary conversations, they literally asked for help to heal them and the result: the rhyming rantings and ravings found in this book.

INTRODUCTION

T his book is my testimony for how I discovered my rantings and ravings to actually become a simple method to help me forgive people in my life, and more importantly, forgive myself for my mistakes; and much more importantly than that, as you will see, how these rants revealed my misperceptions on people, relationships, and situations and changed my view on things in a minute (or so.) So simple. We rant and rave all the time with friends and family, co-workers, etc. How many times, however, do we journal these episodes or sit and try to look at the whole picture objectively. I am not even sure I can call this a book. I prefer to call this a journal to forgiveness. Once the forgiving truly began, it opened me up to so many other
