The Blessing of Boundaries

I have a word that makes me wince whenever I say or hear it. Not that it is a ‘bad’ word, but it is a word that seems to hold some baggage, not only for me, but I’ve found out, for many others as well. Maybe you are one of those people. What is that word, you ask? That word is 'boundaries '.

Before you think this is just another self-help blog post, I want to encourage you, dear reader, to take a deep breath and read on with ‘cautious courage’ if you will. Boundaries aren't selfish; they're essential.
