This Sunday
The Gift Of Forgiveness and Letting Go with Afsaneh Noori Guest speaker, Iranian born, Afsaneh Noori of UUC Tampa will deliver her message of forgiveness. Afsaneh tells her story of childhood abuse and her journey from victimhood to claiming her power through forgiveness. She invites the gathered to explore where in their lives, they see themselves as victims and how they too can begin the process of changing that perception and giving themselves the gift of letting go.
