Episode Description
One of the greatest and most enduring gifts we can give others – and ourselves! – is forgiveness. It is truly the gift that keeps on giving! And the choice to forgive must extend far beyond the major transgressions we normally associate with the act. Forgiveness is essential for all “sins” big or small, real or imagined. Not surprisingly, a lack of forgiveness has been linked to illness, physical and mental. Holding on to an act in ourselves or others for which we feel we cannot offer or accept forgiveness, cuts us off from the full beam of God’s Energy. God loves us, and we when we fail to forgive, we deny that Love, which affects our ability to fully experience the free exchange of this most sacred energy. When we refuse to forgive, we also deny ourselves healing. In fact, the residues of non-forgiveness can build up to the point of threatening our very life force. Like any valuable skill, forgiveness may not come easy at first. But the rewards are well worth the effort!

Terry Canady and Thom Schumacher
Terry Canady, singer/songwriter, was raised in Des Moines, Iowa, and his performing and recording career has spanned nearly five decades. Recording a #1 hit record, “Mama Bear,” in Nashville, Tennessee in the early 1970s was the highlight of his career and eventually led to the creation of his own record and publishing company, Saint Adrian, through which he has produced a number of records and albums, most recently a patriotic CD titled “Give Me Liberty.” He continues to accept narration, commercial and voice-over work from his home in the beautiful Paradise Valley, just a few miles north of Yellowstone National Park.
Thom Schumacher is a copywriter, ex-seminarian, singer, percussionist, talker, plays a mean penny whistle, lyricist, RE broker and, most importantly, a student of the ascended masters. He has been gifted with an exceptional family, survived 3 marathons, navigated some very potent astrology (double Pisces!) and continuously juggles a myriad of creative challenges, not the least of which is hosting The OPEN DOOR. The threads that run through the crazy quilt of his life are love of God, Life, wife, family and gratitude for all the opportunities along the way to learn and grow.
