Alice Wheaton has dedicated her life to bringing out the best in others. After graduating with a BScN, she worked as an intensive care nurse for six years. Afterwards, Alice turned her pursuits to business.
Like all of us, Alice has experienced hurt and disappointment in relationships. Instead of feeling the typical progress of hurt, anger, and resentment, she made a choice to forgive early and forgive often. She developed an effective method of approaching forgiveness by releasing anger and resentment to create peace within and she did this in stages.
Alice is a bestselling author with books translated into ten languages. She is a professional speaker and trainer, providing programs that help others create new opportunities and achieve challenging goals. Her work has taken her to Scandinavia, the Pacific Rim, Latin America, and across the US and Canada.

thought out and not overly done with wordy prose. Bravo! I plan on

The more we have of inner peace the higher our vibration.
Consequently, the more of the good things we will attract into our
life. I appreciate her straight forward style and the sincere heart
behind it...”-Jannette Anderson, President, Chief Marketing
Strategist, Positive Results“I really enjoyed your concept of
learning to find compassion for the person who has wronged us as a
step towards forgiveness. I think that if we all were humble enough
to realize that we are not perfect and need others to forgive us
that perhaps we could then realize the importance of forgiving
others. If we can’t forgive, how can we expect to be
forgiven?”-Janice M. Elmquist, Lawyer, Calgary, Alberta
