That’s it! NO MORE of that! How many times have you thought that? How many times have you said it? How many times have you acted on it?

There are some things that happen in life that simply should never take place. Chief among them is being abused verbally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, or sexually by another. Each and every one of us has been created as special, unlike any other individual with needs, hopes, abilities, and gifts that are unique to us. “Each of us deserves to be taken seriously; each of us deserves to be accepted without judgement; and each of us deserves to ask for and receive help.” (A Woman’s Way Through the Twelve Steps by Stephanie S. Covington).

What will you say NO MORE to this month? In my case, I say NO MORE listening to the voices that say I’m not measuring up.

Peace to you, SJ
