Many of you that know me know that I encourage members to stand up for themselves and not let anyone intimidate them, in real life or here at PC. I really should practice what I preach!

I almost let someone get the better of me. Yes, me! Would I let this happen in any other circumstance? No, of course not. But yet, I had a moment of self-doubt. But then, those who know me were like, "Are you kidding me? You're going to let this person get the better of you?"

Reality check time. Do I let this person chase me away from what I hold true and dear? Do I let them make me change my lifestyle and values? Do I let them change my well-being? Absolutely not! Not in this lifetime!

I took me a minute to remember that this person is not in control of my actions, I am not in control of theirs, and I can't be held accountable for their actions in any way, shape or form.

Thank you to my friends and family who quickly brought me back to my center of well-being. Life is too short and precious to let anyone dictate what I will or will not do.

Hope you can hold on to your values!

I plan on it m-no!

yep standing your ground and firmly holding it is a must. Not allowing others to loosen that ground or shake it is necessary. No matter what their opinions are..what is important are your values, your morals, and you.. If they can lay their heads down at night and go to sleep, then so should you! Afterall at the end of the day it is only our individual selves who can see who stares back at us in the mirror.

Love you and huge hugs
