Setting Boundaries With Love

We are always told to avoid “toxic” people, but sometimes it’s difficult to completely cut ties. This is when we learn to set boundaries. Cathy shares a metaphor she found in Glennon Melton’s latest blog – the reason we can see the beauty of a tiger behind bars is that we are safe from being devoured. If we don’t set up our own boundaries (bars), then we risk allowing others to take advantage of us (and we miss their beauty!).

We also share the website worldpulse.com  – it allows women from all over the world to communicate with each other and transform their circumstances.

At 22:00, we interview Todd’s good friend Rick Williams.  Rick shares the story of his wife Trish – for the last 19 months she has been dealing with Hydrocephalus. Rick has persevered to support Trish in unbelievable ways, but they have reached an impass – recovery is possible, but insurance has run out. To learn more and donate, please visit Trish’s fund raising page here.
