Delighted to be included in Tiny Buddha's 2022 calendar - a supportive reminder for each day of next year by Lori Deschene and other contributors. If you like the site, you might like the calendar. It's available most places.

I'm holding off reading too many entries on mine. Going to save it for January!

In healthy relationships, conflicts make things better, thus reducing conflict. In toxic relationships, conflicts make things worse, thus creating more conflict.

Healthy boundaries aren't walls or barbed wire fences. They are gates, portals that we selectively open when it is healthy to do so. Sometimes we have to wall others off- to heal, to get a taste of what it feels like to be protected- but eventually we come into a sacred balance. Here, we make conscious decisions as to when to open, when to close. I think of it as the art of selective attachment. Rather than responding from a patterned place- too open, or too closed- we look at each situation on its own merits. We keep the gate closed, when it is unsafe to open it. We unlatch the gate, if there is a healthy basis for connection. Healthy boundaries are situation specific, evolving and clarifying as we grow.

Conflict isn’t the adversary of connection... (-an excerpt from my new book, ‘Hearticulations’. Available on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/dp/198864805X/)
