Traci Clark enters the chat room 
Hi Noel! 

Noel McInnis 
Hi, Traci.  So far, we're it. Do you have any question about the course thus far? 

Traci Clark
Questions, not really. I have some comments. 

Noel McInnis 
O.K. 

Traci Clark 
I think the readings and discussions have been very helpful. 

Noel McInnis 
In what way(s)?

Traci Clark 
I really feel that forgiveness is so important. 

Traci Clark 
It is skill to be mastered. 

Traci Clark 
Before it seemed like some esoteric concept but this course has helped me with practical ways to accomplish being a forgiving person. 

Noel McInnis 
Which of these ways has been most useful? 

Traci Clark 
Thank you for your responses. It is nice to heard and validated. 

Noel McInnis 
You're welcome. 

Traci Clark 
Like almost everything in our lives, we have a choice. Sometimes we have to be reminded of that. 

Traci Clark 
This course reminds of this choice. 

Traci Clark 
And provides a framework to accomplish that. 

Traci Clark 
I watched the program (The Way Home) last night. 

Noel McInnis 
I missed that program, since I'm not subscribed to the Hallmark channel

Noel McInnis 
Which of the practical ways of forgiving have been most helpful to you? 

Traci Clark 
The HEAL method is definitely helpful. 

Traci Clark 
It provides a plan that you can refer to as needed.

Noel McInnis 
How have you applied it? 

Traci Clark 
I am beginning to but I don't have a concrete example at this time.
 
Noel McInnis 
O.K. By the end of the class you probably will. 

Noel McInnis 
You once mentioned A Course in Miracles. Do you study it regularly? 

Traci Clark 
I think that was one of the others. 

Noel McInnis 
Ooops! Sorry. 

Traci Clark 
Noel, I hate to chat and run but I am off to work. 

Traci Clark 
Thanks, again. 

Noel McInnis 
Thank you for taking the time to be here while you could.
