Thank you for your honesty in this post!...Hi Angie,<br />Thank you for your honesty in this post! I totally know what it is like 'putting it out there' in this forum, and not everyone can do it with the grace that you did here. <br />I think that people can relate to what you are saying. I have been a "yes" girl for such a long time, I forget what "no" is like. Recently I shed some friendships that no longer worked for me, that were all about them and not about me at all. <br />Keep doing what you are doing, because it sounds like you are doing pretty well to me!YYZ travel galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14643293111028535932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546760271545441885.post-66291299526490477112011-06-20T09:03:47.371-05:002011-06-20T09:03:47.371-05:00Oh How I can relate:) I'm hoping one of these...Oh How I can relate:) I'm hoping one of these days to find a little more NO in me and relieve that feeling that comes from being a pleaser.
