This is so simple, yet powerful. I could use this for my (adult!) self! 🙂 I love your blog.

Hey there, haven’t been by in a bit so I clicked on your name from an old post when I saw it. I love this therapy. This applies to just not getting our way too. Love it. Must. Remember.

Sometimes that may be a blessing in disguise. 🙂
I’d choose you!!! 🙂
That is such a great way to handle things though … good, good advice!

So simple and so true.
This is great – helpful in its simplicity. Thanks 🙂
