Stand tall,

I will tell you what I told my H, “I will love you forever probably....but tolerate any behavior....no I won’t do that. If the way you treat me is not a thing I can stand then I love me and you both enough to put some space between us.”

It is loving to put boundaries. It is loving to not tolerate self or other distraction and it is loving to allow people to be responsible for the outcome of their decisions, it respects both their right to make choices and their ownership of the consequences of those choices. Love enough to respect another persons autonomy.

Thank you Courage,

  We do have distance and have not move in any direction to or away from each other. Just in limbo I guess. I saved this that you wrote so I can remember to use these words when the time comes.

Stand Tall

When the power of love overcomes the love of power there will be peace.

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass its about learning to dance in the Rain

Be a pineapple; Stand tall. Wear a crown. Be sweet on the Inside.
