You can have boundaries and not even know it. Boundaries protect us. Our minds let us know when our boundaries are crossed, just like an alarm system on a house that lets the owner know something is wrong. Since we’re the owners of our minds, we can sense an impending boundary crosser and do something […]
There are so many ways we lose sight of the big picture. We go through life blind a lot of the time. It’s sad, really, how many of us, myself included, feel like days fly by and there is not enough time in a day to get done what we want to do. I fight […]
