I am responsible for protecting myself.  Too long I waited for my mother, my father, my husband, someone to protect me…..I waited……..and waited.  Then I started counseling.  Maybe the counselor would protect me?  Nope.  He informed me that he would teach me how to protect myself.

NO

That’s it.  One word, no explanation needed.  I was terrified to use it.  I thought some how my World would end if I used it. My World did end.  I stopped being a door mat.  Much like a butterfly is the end of a caterpillar.  I use it carefully because it is powerful and scares other people.  But it is an awesome word.  I took back my power by saying one word.  Use it and enjoy!!!!!
