What an important lesson to keep your heart open yet protect it from would be predators who only want to take.
That must have been a very difficult desicion to make because of your concern for your client yet it seems like the right one by the amount of relief you felt upon doing it.
So happy you got a chance to be in nature and begin the healing process - thanks so the lovely hawthorn tree and the kookaburra (lovely photos!)
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks.....
.... Yeah that's a lesson I've learned before, but just keep needing those little reminders. This time, it was a reminder that I'm not crazy, I'm not making it up, this is not OK, and the way I feel is perfectly fine, and makes a lot of sense. It's an example of how some peoples' disrespect can knock me off centre and then I start to question my own values, virtues, etc.
