closing thoughts... Boundaries are complicated. Or are they? This month’s musings from our amazing Ambassadors has me thinking and feeling into boundaries in a whole new way. I’d like to share what’s showing up as I reflect on this month’s theme. One realization is that boundaries are not about balance. In fact, holding boundaries is often about tipping the scales a great deal, almost to a full evolution and reboot from where I am in a given moment that feels boundaryless to a new way of how I want to take up space in the world, creating and holding my boundaries along the way. Another realization is that boundaries are messy. We often don’t know what the boundary really is and how to hold it fully until we stumble into it and try it on. That takes practice, not perfection, I now know. Boundaries are also incredibly vulnerable! To share with yourself or someone else what you desire sometimes feels like walking around naked and raw… “Here I am, all of me, wanting to share my desires and be accepted all at the same time.” Pshew. That. Can. Be. Tough. And, at the same time, this process of navigating boundaries might be the most important and rewarding work we do for ourselves. I hope this issue has planted seeds and/or affirmed this for you.
