GREAT piece, Linda ! Lots of hard won wisdom and truth there.

I can relate. I have had to learn to give myself permission to be a slug now and then.

Love this! Jose is so good at setting boundaries, and I am much better about it now. I’m glad you are finding peace in your life. Just reading about how it was stressed me. You know me tho, I hate having plans even if it is something I want to do. Love you lots:)

Thank you, Leslie! It isn’t easy to be vulnerable, but maybe I’ll help someone in the process. 🙂

I’m glad you’re getting better at setting your own boundaries, too. Believe me, writing about it kinda stressed me out, too!🙂 Love you always!
