I enjoyed this post. Robert Frost is my favourite poet. I like walls. You can do a lot with them. Lean on them. Sit on them. Climb over them. Write on them. Knock them down and rebuild them. What's neat is that despite the walls we build around ourselves, we continue to grow and change inside of them. Eventually the wall changes before we can even notice. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Davinas last blog post..<a href="http://www.shadesofcrimson.com/2009/04/29/positive-intent-breathwork-meditative/" rel="nofollow">Positively Breathing — A Series Intro</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Hi Patricia.

You are great and people love you! And that’s the truth…but you need to be careful…

Oh you have champagne! I hope you will write about enjoying it on my champagne tour and spread that joy!

Your CD release will be wonderful

Lots of cranberries there in my bog in October to go with my top hat oven-fresh bread. But seriously, I am one of these weird people that can push through peoples' personal boundaries but not offend them. Luckily for them, I have only friendly intentions. For instance, this one lady whom I know only via cyberland and only for a few months, has seen fit to gift me over many many miles with one bottle of champagne. In celebration of the up-coming milestone of my debut CD release. Right on my doorstep by UPS!!! (I'm going to send her 2 complimentary copies of my CD, which will still leave me greatly in her debt. But I'll get caught up with her.) People just love me!! I must be great? :) <abbr><em><abbr><em>Jannie Funsters last blog post..<a href="http://www.janniefunster.com/?p=5431" rel="nofollow">I Found My Thrill… on Aventine Hill</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Well, I haven’t learned any scales (such a lazy musician…)

Boundaries on-line are bit more difficult because we don't have the visual or auditory clues (well, most of the time). Therefore, setting boundaries and honoring others boundaries can be a challenge. Usually what I try do is get a feel for a person through their writing and then keep my responses in tune to that feeling, but I can't say I'm always successful at this. You give me a lot to think about. Thanks:~) <abbr><em><abbr><em>Saras last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/sarahealy/soulconnections/~3/_B0_G5ZnRhc/" rel="nofollow">Where’s Waldo?

I am breaking down my class on ethics into tiny steps because I think folks who work and write on the Internet will need to become more attuned to their own boundaries and borders - as the Internet is a rather boundary-less entity. Mark,

I think that the analogy you have used clearly illustrates that we must tend to our boundaries on a regular basis. If we don't do this we our boundaries fall in to dis-repair and we are unsure of where and what our boundaries are and this can cause confusion, insecurity and frustration, not only for us but also for the other people in our life. Well done, thanks for bringing awareness to this aspect of our being. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Marks last blog post..<a href="http://tobeme.wordpress.com/2009/04/29/the-face-of-divinity/" rel="nofollow">The Face of Divinity</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> This is an important post.

I am practicing. Good to do the hard things. Vered, Thank you for you lovely words. I am breaking down the Ethics workshop into tiny bites of understanding....and integrating the ideas into me and my thinking - It is sometimes a moment when I think my writing is at it's best. I think you have your boundaries well in place and they meet your needs and the blog allows you a measured reveal. Because the boundaries are clear others are drawn to you and your words- they feel very safe. I think that would be a lovely way to be - sharing wonderful information and the readers feel safe in their learning and understanding. Dot,
