Boundaries...

19 November 2019: Had just a bit of time today and was able to attend a portion of the "Mental Health Summit" held on campus. One of my favorite people on campus (on the planet?), Rhonda from Counseling Services, talked about relationship challenges our students might be facing and how to cultivate healthy relationships. So much, she explained, is about boundaries. Here's what I want to remember, for myself and others, in moments where we need to be honest: "We need to value ourselves enough to ride out those few seconds of discomfort to take care of ourselves."
