“And so, I let the latte-wielding Bluetooth warriors and others who are a part of cuckoo-mania be. They’re not my rocks to move. They’re just part of the river I’m learning to flow through—with humor, grace, and maybe a scone of my own.”——LOVE this 🩵
I'm very very slowly learning this. When it's a family member it is so difficult, but I'm working on it! I deserve my own peace. Thanks for the reminder.
As a professional conductor for several decades, I confess this is still difficult for me, but I’ve gotten a little better at it over time. I don’t remember ever regretting the decision not to swim upstream, but sometimes I just can’t resist cueing the saxophones. 🎷

Thanks for this important reminder. Boundaries make a big impact on the quality of our lives.
Yesss! Boundaries are so important. Wishing you a great Saturday Diana.
Thanks, Diamond-Michael. Wishing you the same.
Thank you so much for this—a healing balm—as your writing often is.
This will be my new mantra: "they are not my rocks to move" Thank you for the wisdom!
That works for me too.

True wisdom here! We need constant reminders of this, myself included ✨

Love hearing about your experience here. And, oh my, I didn’t know you were a conductor. How cool!
So many valuable nuggets in here. Delivered at the precise time I needed to hear them. Thank you!
That’s awesome!
