The Language of Letting Go, May 17
May 17
You are reading from the book "The Language of Letting Go."
Boundaries
Sometimes life and people seem to push and push. Because we are so used to pain, we may tell ourselves it doesn't hurt. Because we are so used to people controlling and manipulating us, we may tell ourselves there is something wrong with us.
There's nothing wrong with us. Life is pushing and hurting to get our attention. Sometimes the pain and pushing are pointing toward a lesson. The lesson may be that we've become too controlling. Or maybe we're being pushed to own our power to take care of ourselves. The issue is boundaries.
If something or somebody is pushing us to our limit, that's exactly what's happening: we're being pushed to our limits. We can be grateful for the lesson that's here to help us explore and set our boundaries.
Today, I will give myself permission to set the limits I want and need to set in my life.

The horse chestnut tree is blooming in my yard. This is not my own picture or my own tree, but I wanted to put it in today's email. The individual flowers on the flower spikes are so incredibly intricate, each one like a tiny orchid!
