Hi, Gabrtielle. I liked your article about 'people pleasing'. Indeed, you are right. Of course, one cannot please all of the people all of the time, and when attempting to do so, there is regret when there are those who react negatively to attempted acts of kindness. Boundaries are good; especially when it comes to mothers and their children, and friends who latch on only to receive but never give. Your words are well thought out. It was a pleasure to read. Thanks, Regards
