‘Love your neighbour
as yourself.’

Still searching for my 46000 friends from 'the other side'... I'm on a mission! AND I'm loving making new friends over here. At a time when social media feels anything but social, I'm so pleased there's BlueSky ❤️

They would foster a deep sense of safety and security, be emotionally attuned to what is going on inside me at any given time, soothe and comfort me when I need it, express delight in me just being me and doing me, and be unconditionally supportive and encouraging 💛🌻✨

Imagine. Hear it.

Trauma Brain is going to tell us that if we dare to have boundaries, some people aren't going to be in our life anymore-- & that's an awful thing.

But that's actually evidence that our boundary worked.
