learning to say no

One of the shortest words in the MANY languages however it is the hardest for many to say…including myself some days. Why? Why is it so difficult to just simply say no…and stop there…no additional explanation needed? I grew up and live in the south….and truthfully….growing up and many other times, we are made to feel guilty to say no. We are supposed to be there for everyone…..we are supposed to be “nice” and not “rock the boat”. Over the past year, I have learned to say “no”….and also not give an explanation. “No” is a complete sentence. Nothing else needed…..so go out there and rock the “no” @
