My Dutch Grandfather and More by Annie Mitchell

I’ve been teaching myself the guitar enough to play along to what I’m composing and come up with melodies. It’s much easier to find them on the guitar vs. the piano. Would love to get some proper lessons someday. Anyway, here’s some new compositions .. I hope you enjoy them.

<3,

On Forgiveness by Annie Mitchell

As I reflect over the last year, I think about forgiveness. I have long struggled to forgive myself for damage caused to my loved ones as I’ve pursued contentment. My Mother was a major casualty in that journey so as you can imagine, her death has forced me to confront a lot of things I don’t like about myself. Of course, all was forgiven by her but I will forever struggle to forgive myself. Additionally, I’ve been trying desperately to let go of pain others have knowingly and unknowingly inflicted upon me. I realize that I cannot reach self-actualization without forgiveness.
