Do You now how to say No ?
I find saying No is one difficult thing to do !
Why is it so hard to be nice to yourself ?
I had an E-mail from one of my dear friends, who had turned down a friends request to become her friend on face book. My friend needed to turn the request down, not because she did not like the person who wanted to be her friend, but what feelings that person brought out in my friend. gosch this is even difficult to explain..can you imagine living it ?
The point is, my friend was strong enough to look after Her self by saying No in a nice way.
This way she took care of her own well being and did not fall for what most people would have done, gone with flow, been nice to the other person , or to please that person hurt herself.
How many of us would have said "Ok, sure you can be my friend", been polite and done the "right thing" even if the right thing was wrong for us. I am so proud of my friend for actually standing up for herself. So easy to say but so hard to do.
I salute all of you who dare to be nice to yourself !!
Take care of yourself, love yourself first and make every one in your life happy, even if it means not complying with their wishes.

LIVING TOGETHER
Hi,
I was thinking about all us women out there going trough changes in life, and many of us end up on our own, by default. I was living with a young student and he moved out after 3 years. I was very lonely as he had become my "adopted"son. I arranged his wedding, and I was a proud" "mum" to help him find his job. When he moved there was a big gap, and you can't just fill it with anyone or anything.
So happened my dear friend Louise got a new job in the City and was living out in Narrabeen, ca 1.30 hours North of Sydney. She spent 4 hours a day in traffic and came home to her empty home, as her two girls had flown the nest. I could not find a good "roomie" so I asked Louis eif she wanted to move in with me, as I lived 15 minutes from the City.
She came the next day !
We lived in Rose Bay for about 9 months and felt we needed a bathroom each. We went house hunting for 3 months and saw what I think EVERYTHING !
We finally found a great place with 3 bedroom, two bathrooms and two car garage! They also threw in a swimming pool and two terraces with water view... We absolutely love living together! We would never have been able to afford the standard and the food with out sharing it with some one.
You should not be afraid to try it if you find yourself lonely. It is great for your soul.
