thank you for joining me on a rainy

day nothing new there um so I am in the

conservatory and I want to share a piece

with you that is written by a lady

called Cassie

Phillips um I came across it on Facebook

somebody had shared

it and it's one of those pieces that

I've read reread

and read

again and it really strikes home for

me so I will share it and

then add my thoughts in at the

end so it's called let

them just let

them if they want to choose something or

someone over

you let

them if they want to go weeks without

talking to

you let them if they're okay with never

seeing you let them if they are okay

with always putting themselves

first let them if they are showing you

who they are and not what you perceived

them to be let

them if they want to follow the crowd

let

them if they want to judge or

misunderstand

you let them if they act like they can

live without

you let

them if they want to walk out of your

life and

leave hold the door open and let

them let them lose you you are never

there say because you were always your

own so let them let them show you who

they truly

are not tell

you let them prove how worthy they are

of your

time let them make the necessary steps

to be a part of your

life let them earn your for

forgiveness let them call you to talk

about ordinary

things let them take you out on the

Thursday let them talk about anything

and

everything just because it's you they

are talking

to let them have a safe place in

you let them see the heart in you that

didn't

Hardon let them love

you okay so as I say that has affected

me on a very personal

level pause for a deep intake of

breath and I knew it would affect me

reading it out loud so I've actually

jotted down my ideas beforehand

you have to accept

yourself just as you are without having

to make changes for

others if you feel that you have to

change to maintain a

relationship if that change is always

one-sided then the relationship might

need to be G given some

consideration and do

not not Auto automatically take the

blame and punish yourself for any of the

things that they have

done um yeah some of us find that hard

to

do and on occasion you might be tempted

to heal a

riff but they have to earn a place back

in your life otherwise it will be very

quickly back to as was same

old you need to be shown respect and

that your

needs your

wishes

you are

considered they don't value you and you

deserve to be

valued and to be made to feel

valued let's face it it's form of

control don't let them control

you you are the only one who has control

of

you unless you give that control

away never forget

that you belong to

nobody but

yourself so establish those

boundaries establishing them is one

thing

keeping them is

another have a big conversation with

yourself about where those

boundaries need to

be

and if there would be any

opportunity that you might feel you

would allow those boundaries to

fall but put

yourself your considerations top of the

a

pile that's not

selfish it really isn't though many

people think it

is it's

self-caring self-

nurturing and boy if those others aren't

doing

it you must you really

must on that note I will say thank you

very much for joining

me and

take care take care of you no matter

what the world no matter what other

people be

they can inverted come as friends or

family work

colleagues

whatever think of

you thank you for joining me bye for now

bye
