IOTSN-It's Okay To Say No


IOTSN — It’s Okay to Say No

Sometimes, protecting our peace means saying no.

Saying no can give us the peace we deserve.

      Sometimes, saying no to one thing allows us to say yes to ourselves.

When I was a teenager in the 1980s, we loved creating cassette playlists for friends who were moving away, starting new adventures, or simply because. There was something special about choosing songs for someone else—each one selected with that person in mind. I still enjoy making playlists today, although the process looks a little different. Instead of cassette tapes, I use microSD cards and share them with family and friends. I have even purchased inexpensive MP3 players as gifts, giving my loved ones a dedicated way to enjoy their music while allowing me to continue doing something I love. F...
