Horses teach me lessons that people can't....because they're non-jugemental and don't carry the baggage that so many of us do. I do an exercise in the energy round pen where I literally "draw a line in the sand", if I feel the horse is coming too close for comfort. When I draw this line with intent and support that intent with my energy level...he stops. When I'm uncertain and wishy washy he'll challenge me by continuing to approach -- as if to say --- "are you sure?". And the lesson is so clear to me --- what was my intent, and did I communicate it clearly? If no, the horse will "tell me so" with his actions. And horses have such lovely, playful ways of challenging me, so that I don't feel threatened or resentful. And I "get it".....the lesson is something I take with me into the "people world". So if you're questioning your ability to set boundaries -- ask a horse, they're such wonderful, generous teachers.VWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092180076219547006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350811149337816800.post-76220002722084194192011-06-22T11:02:27.146-04:002011-06-22T11:02:27.146-04:00I'm going to look forward to your book JennI'm going to look forward to your book JennEdward Q McBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12965495500629774637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350811149337816800.post-6787350837095060482011-06-22T09:00:28.898-04:002011-06-22T09:00:28.898-04:00thank you for this clarity, really needed it... ho...thank you for this clarity, really needed it... how can I blame those that walk all over me if I've never advised them otherwise? sometimes it's just too simple to see :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350811149337816800.post-63900173243456748312011-06-21T18:16:11.071-04:002011-06-21T18:16:11.071-04:00Ahhhh...

Yes, a challenge too for many of us who believe we have to put others first. I will join you in establishing clear and spoken or written boundaries, Jenn.Rosemary Heenanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00489095580719315901noreply@blogger.com
