Saying no to one thing, means saying yes to so much more.
It's not easy to say no, is it?
I struggle with it daily...well weekly.
But I've realized that freedom follows when I have the guts to say no - there is much less guilt offering an honest no than trying to fulfill a promise that isn't heartfelt.
Schools, neighbors, friends, family.....we don't have to say yes to everything everytime.
We have talent to offer, but we sometimes need to be selfish about our time - even time that is not productive is still worth something.
Chilling with family. Reading a book. Researching a favorite subject. Painting your toes. Journaling for yourself.
A dear friend reminded me that I need to wear my "boundary suit" more often - thanks for that. xxoo
It's summer - say yes to YOU.
