Lifeskills #1 - Boundaries

Our first LIFESKILL is one that is obviously necessary but not so easy to implement - BOUNDARIES. Since the days of our youth, we have been taught by our families of origin and others close to us that either it is OK or it is NOT OK to set boundaries for ourselves. We use these "rules" that we learned years ago in our everyday lives, and it is AMAZING the impact these rules have on the shape and feel of all our relationships, both casual and intimate! Henry Cloud is, to me, an "expert" on boundaries. I love his various writings and listen to his audios often to remind myself of what are appropriate and inappropriate boundaries. We will touch on the high points of Boundaries in the coming days. I have found it's advice well worth taking . . .

Love to you all!

Where's my map?

Good afternoon wonderful world! This blog happens to be my answer to the most intriguing question I can think of. Where's the playbook for my freakin' life? When I come to a fork in the road, where's the bleepin' map? It's always in someone else's glovebox!

Well, this will be our GLOVEBOX. We will make maps of our own, using the wisdom of those who have gone before us. Happiness to you, my lovely friends. After this gets rollin' we will all feel a little more under control with the decisions of life - so sit back and relax. Stay tuned.
