 How To Deal With Toxic Relationships and move forward or put up  healthy  boundaries  for yourself with dignity, grace and love :)

3/12/13  Lesson today:  Don't be discouraged if there are days when you faulter and get sucked into someone else's negative drama.  Today is a new day.  Be grateful for the good days and also for the bad ones (life lessons happen every day).... and especially notice the fact that most of your days are filled with love and joy.

And when you defend yourself against other people's insanity you become insane too."  [LOL! this is what I did yesterday - it's good to be able to laugh at yourself,  we are only human after all]

So remember:

I often use this analogy with my clients....
Relationships, no matter whether it's personal or professional, are like joint emotional bank accounts. If both are not making deposits, or one is constantly depleting the account, and not making adequate deposits to replenish the account.....then it's time to take that persons name OFF that account. Shut 'em out...protect your emotional "currency"

3/11/13  My youngest continues to have some difficulty here and there about the odd family rift below.  He had to come home from school on 2/26 he was so upset about it all.  Since the latest incident below, I noticed him playing a song over and over called "Don't you worry child" by Swedish Mafia.  This morning I downloaded the song (it's catchy and fun -- thought it would be a good running song).  I listened to the words for the first time and couldn't stop crying.  I now realize this has been a coping song for him.  I love you Zack - I'm listening and Chris and I are always here for you, buddy -- don't you worry my sweet child, heaven's got a plan for you.

 "Don't You Worry Child"

There was a time
I used to look into my father's eyes.
In a happy home
I was a king, I had a gold throne.
Those days are gone,
Now the memory's on the wall.
I hear the songs
From the places where I was born.

Upon the hill across the blue lake,
That's where I had my first heartbreak.
I still remember how it all changed.
My father said,
"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child.
See heaven's got a plan for you.
Don't you worry, don't you worry now."
Yeah!
