I immediately hit Amazon for the Boundaries book and got started reading it that next day on my iPad. . . . . . But more than that, I want to thank you for the energy and commitment you've put into your blog. It is a joy to read, as I regularly do.

However, I often wonder about the quality of the lives of bloggers who put out a post nearly every day. It took me many years to learn how to say NO to someone, instead of just saying YES, and then feeling that smothered, overwhelming sense of dread at knowing I could never get it all done or be perfect enough or make everyone happy. Your life and your husband and your garden and your relationships are important! I will be quite happy to see your posts in my inbox, but will certainly understand if it's only once a week. You are loved, your creativity is deeply appreciated and I pray you find peace as you create balance in your life!<br />Warm regards,<br />Ruth LAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04790622917723343334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8691319772208152166.post-65532645621203408422015-05-28T11:25:15.664-05:002015-05-28T11:25:15.664-05:00Rhonda, I (we) fully support your decision to take...Rhonda, I (we) fully support your decision to take more time for yourself and your family.
