Hello, my friends,  How are you doing today?  It is summer and hot here in Okinawa, but I love it.  I am a girl from the sunshine state and I love the sun.  I love the smell, I love the feel of it on my skin. And yes, I'm a Nurse. I know too much sun is bad for you.  But I just love it. I spent 8 years prior to living here in Germany, where you hardly ever see the sun. I missed it so much like an old friend.  So thankful we are reunited. 

Today, my friends, we are going to talk about boundaries.  This comes up a lot in my Master's program of Psychology and Addiction Counseling, in the opportunities I have to work with recovery support groups and in my coaching. 

I just read a quote that said.

"When someone tries to trigger you by insulting you or by doing or saying something that irritates you, take a deep breath, and switch off your ego. Remember that if you are easily offended you are easily manipulated"

I would add to that, recognize...
