Sincerity and candor are the bricks and mortar that build boundaries.
Wanting what you have trumps getting what you want.
The thing isn’t about the thing.
You needn’t get rid of all your stuff to see the problem it creates.
It is not my responsibility to un-offend you.
When you're free from pleasing all the people, you're free from needing all the things.
The thing you want is never the thing you want.

My relationship dynamics are very much like Josh & his wife. It’s others that have the problem with how we relate to each other. We always take separate cars to family events & people think it’s weird but I don’t want to make him stay if I’m not ready to go. We are independent and introverted also so we need a lot of “me” time. We have a lot of fun when we’re together & I can’t be in a relationship that I’m with someone all the time. We live a mile apart and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I just realized how Becca's arm is over the words on the title pic and I thought, "that's super cool!", then I did a deep dive of previous video posts and now I see there are several instances of people being just slightly in front of the text - it's an awesome little Easter egg! Kudos to your graphic designer! 👏
Just put a hold on "Weapons of Mass Instruction" at the library, looking forward to listening to it. LOVE having T.K. as a permanent part of the team! Ella and my oldest child, Evalyn, are close in age, so I love hearing about how raising Ella is going for Becca as I can relate to much of it. I share Becca's affinity for healthy things, including food; love it when she's on the show too!
