FriendTerVention

As I've grown and matured and gotten more in touch with my spiritual self, I've learned to pay attention to feelings or should I say my intuition. And right now, my intuition has me questioning why a 'friend' is making certain statements that have been made to me. What I've learned over the years is that whenever I spend any amount of time trying to figure out why someone said what they said to me, it was probably inappropriate and wrong, and it's time for a friendTerVention. You're probably wondering what's a friendTerVention. A friendTerVention is when I evaluate the value of having a person in my space. At one time, this could lead to a person being completely cut off but now it just leads to me understanding that everyone doesn't get a front row seat in my life. We still communicate but they get basic info, no details at all. I often wonder if people who make slick digs at you know that they're doing this and if they do know what reaction are they expecting from you? What I know for sure as a mature adult is that when in doubt about what to say, it's best to just be quiet. My daddy always said that the power of life and death is in the tongue. Let's just be mindful of what we say to people in our space. Thinking before we speak is always a good rule of thumb.

Be blessed blogosphere!
