Michele- WOW. What a tremendous and timely post for me. The most recent ex, whom I have just FINALLY gotten out of my life, was himself such a “gift” – and he literally did the same type of thing recently by “insisting” I accept a birthday present from him….this gives me much needed perspective, bolstering, food for thought . . .thank you!!

I am using that one Michele! What an excellent way to stay true to myself, and not allow anyone else’s drama affect my own day. Thanks Michele!

Michele, your and Hiro Boga’s posts are fabulous reminders and reinforcements to stay in my own energy and not get tangled up in anyone else’s negative vibe! The Universe is definitely making this message loud and clear for me I concur “Wow, sounds tough. What do you plan to do about it?” is a great way to be present with and hear someone without buying into their story. Great post!

Lately, I use the internal mantra of – ‘thank you for sharing and no I don’t wish to participate in your drama, complaint, distress’…fill in the blank. Works like a charm for a charmed life. I can acknowledge the person,their concerns, and send them on their way to solve, manage or stew in their own life. How do I spell relief? Staying in my own business [yes, I know longer than TUMS] and reside in peace.
