Homegirl

Today I'm a homegirl. Content with a cup of tea, my kiddo dropping in,

the rain moving in, a breeze on the front porch, 

a good book with a side of old friends.

Here's the quote from my course the other day:

"There is a line I have drawn over which I do not allow others to cross.

This line ensures me my uniqueness, autonomy and privacy.

I am able to be me the way I really am rather than the way

people want me to be by drawing this line.

By This line I let others know:

this is who I am and where I begin and you end:

this is who you are and where you begin and I end;

we will never cross over this line 

so that we can maintain a healthy relationship with one another."

~Lance Armstrong's Live Strong~

A little side note: I don't know how it happened that 

I really never knew about boundaries, except what I have learned for my profession.

  This last year they have been a thing.

  " ...how well or how poorly you regulate you

relationship with yourself"

Geez....I didn't even know having a relationship with myself

was a thing!

If you want to learn more about Boundaries too,

here are 

some great books that I've read:

Boundary Boss by Terri Cole (fav.)

How to Establish Boundaries by Patrick King

The Boundary is You by Chany G. Rosengarten
