I am a retired nurse, living in senior housing, and accustomed to saying yes a lot!, But in late October, I had to start saying no, because I was assisting others, as well as volunteering, which I do enjoy, but not taking good care of myself, and not attending to my art work, which fills me up! So No!vember is of great interest to me! And I can still help out when I can, and if it fits into the schedule. So things are shifting. I am sure I went into nursing because I am a "helper" , as many nurses are, so it's natural to jump in. And I love that. But others need the opportunity to help as well, and I need to fill my well, so it all makes some kind of sense to me. Thanks for the newsletter, which came at the exact time I need it. It felt like you were writing directly to me! And I am enjoying seeing Coconut, thanks to your posts.

Utterly brilliant newsletter as always but adore the ‘saying no’ scrapbook. Thank you!
