One of the things I can’t stand is to be disrespected. I know you are thinking who does? But for some of us it’s a button that is pushed and we immediately can blow some steam (directly in your face). As a person who puts forth the effort to be considerate and thoughtful of what I say and do, I was challenged this week to NOT BLOW MY TOP. It all happened in one day.

That night I thought I was over it until I started praying and got angry about it all over again! I had to ask the Holy Spirit and Yeshua, angels and ancestors to pray for me! Did you know you could do that? Only a few times in my life have I been unable to pray because of sorrow or anger or being speechless about a situation.

When I woke up the next morning, I felt clear in my mind. I’d rested in one of those DEEP sleeps. I even had a chance to sleep in because it was the 4th of July. I understood that the disrespect aimed at me came from hurt and miserable people. The level of false power one must have to think they can talk to me (you) in any kind of way is astounding. The disregard for your voice or wishes, to override what you said and to do it any way must be amazingly egotistical. I didn’t match their energy. I returned it to the sender. Yet, it is not what I really wanted to do.

I also saw where I needed work and where I needed to be okay with “returning fire” with letting a person know there is a boundary here. I understand that people expect religious, spiritual, athletes, celebrities, the quiet ones to NOT return fire. They expect us to just take whatever is dished out and when we don’t, we are the problem and I find that problematic. We are not the problem. Their way of thinking is the problem. We have a right to stand up for ourselves. We have a right to set boundaries and dole out the consequences accordingly. And we must do it WITHOUT feeling GUILTY.
