Hi Geri,
Yes, I totally relate to this and have done the same thing with clothes that I never/rarely wear. It opens up the space for the new and allows someone else to have the clothing I wasn’t wearing. I love the image of the sweater that warms your heart as well as your body. Yay!

Sure, “maybe” is a thing too sometimes, but for us wafflers and people pleasers, maybe is a probably a hell no ๐Ÿ™‚

Thatโ€™s been changing and opens me more up for treating myself to a yes- I do need a new sweater that warms my heart not just my body. My personal boundaries have gotten better along with knowing what I really like.

Hi Pegatha,
What a wonderful experience you had with your dad. Yay for you! And how wonderful that you taking care of your own needs enhanced your relationship with him.
We love you too!!!!! ๐Ÿ™‚

Hi Suzette,
Thank you for this. I love the Divine NO. I mean, I don’t always love it when it’s happening, but I totally agree with you!! ๐Ÿ™‚

It is like going in to buy clothes for some special occasion and then can’t find anything. Then you go to another store and again can’t find anything. And you repeat this usually 1-2 more times… and darn, nothing. I call this the Divine NO!

That day was just not the day for buying clothes. Of course, it could have been a car, or going on a date, or … just make it up! The point is that we seem to get discouraged when the door closes, and it just does not seem to work that day or for that thing.

Instead of getting discouraged, I now see it as a Divine NO! I’ll Try tomorrow or the next day… and move on and have a good day!

You are so right! I did not realize that was the shift I made with my Dad. I started saying NO to being at his beck and YES to me and what made me happy and EVERYTHING CHANGED! Changed for the better. We are getting along great. He is actually expressing love and appreciation to my face and giving me hugs! It is a dream come true that I had basically given up on. And in reading your post, I realize I did that with my music, too. There are some songs from my past and/or present that I enjoy, but not necessarily over and over again. The music I love I do listen to over and over and over and it always lifts me up and brings me pleasure, whether it is one or yours or Karen Drucker’s spiritual songs or a funny country song like Watermelon Crawl. I have not subscribed to a music service because I cannot always say NO when a song is playing as I am driving or washing dishes or whatever. You have inspired me to give it a try. Thanks for being so awesome and always sharing it with us! I love you and Melissa so much!
