Happy Independence Day and here’s to FREEDOM from running on the gerbil wheel of insanity!
All of your books hit home. Thanks for writing them.
Thank you, Pat!
Wonderful books. Each story touches home.
Thank you for touching on areas in our lives that we keep hidden. Your books have touched my heart.
The “S” Step in SANITY is to STOP! And that goes for, STOP Hiding Our Hurts. Thanks for your encouraging words, Pat.
Thank you for all you do to help women discover that they are not alone.
Thank you for all you do. I’ve enjoyed reading all the stories you’ve put together to know that I am not alone.
The “A” Step in SANITY is to ASSEMBLE Supportive People. Hopefully, that’s what we will be doing on our private Facebook Group. None of us are alone.

Thank you for your books and seeing other women who have experienced what I have gone through.
Thank you for your books and reading about other women who have experienced what I have gone through.
Thank you for all you’ve done for us.
Sanity would be getting my joy back!
Amen! Joy is a state of mind, heart and spirit. It’s something we can intentionally choose, but it sure is hard to do that with a heavy heart, isn’t it? Applying the 6-Steps to SANITY every day helps me make better choices, one of which is to choose joy! Hang in there, Rebecca, joy is on the way!
To me SANITY means to stop doing the same things over and over, expecting a different outcome, which is the opposite of SANITY–INSANITY!
It is difficult to break old patterns of relating and doing life, but not impossible. Start with one step at a time. Thank you for great information.
Thanks, Sophia. You are so right, breaking old patterns is difficult! And you’re also right that it’s not impossible to do it. It just takes some of us a little longer than others to learn the tools that help us find SANITY!
I read Setting Boundaries about a year after my husband passed away. My twin boys were about 18 years old at the time. They were doing drugs and not adhering to rules set by me. At the time they were living at my house. The book gave me courage to leave them in jail when arrested. I recommended and given this book out to several friends. This book saved my sanity. My boys are 26 yrs old now and doing so much better. They are now productive citizens.
Thanku for sharing, I am looking forward to discovering this thing called sanity!
Hello SANITY Support Group Members. I hope you’ve had an enjoyable Fourth of July celebration. It’s 9:30 PM here in Texas, and I need to log off for the day. Sadly, my air conditioner has been down since Sunday and it’s 90 degrees here and I’m frying. Please continue to post here as well as on my blog, and I’ll check in tomorrow morning with news about the first winner of Gift Basket #1 of 4! God bless and keep all of you!

SANITY starts when we STOP. Everyone’s “STOP” is different. Some of us need to stop making excuses for negative behaviour, some need to stop hoarding our hurts, and some of us need to stop feeling guilty over past choices. Whatever your STOP is, make this a new day where you STOP something that has kept you in bondage and chained to the gerbil-wheel of insanity.
SANITY IS POSSIBLE! And I wantr to help you find it!
All of the above
Oh Liz, my heart ached for you when I read about your sons’ jail time, as I completely get how hard it is to know when to bail a child out of jail or when to let them remain. And raising boys on your own isn’t easy! How awesome to hear that eight years later your twin boys are doing so much better and are, in fact, productive citizens! Amen! Thank you for sharing this with me. To God be the glory!
Sanity is developing peace so my stomach wont ache so much
Bless your heart. Between stomach aches, heart aches, and drama/chaos/crisis aches, the fallout of boundary-challenged lives sure is painful, isn’t it? How well I know it. That’s why it’s so important to stand together and support one another on this journey to set healthy boundaries and find sanity. Stay strong, Rebeccca!
I have come to realize that what I was doing was not only hurting myself but my son. I could not continue to bail him out every chance I got. I notice that the more I did for him the more he expected it and still gave me his butt to kiss. I have the support of other moms and family members in my decision to take my SANITY back. I now have eliminated not only the excuses my 19 year old son was making, but the excuses I was making as a mother. I live 2,000 miles away from him and it is easier since I laid my burdens and him before the Lord. I can sleep at night and I can say NO without feeling guilty. SANITY is something that we all need in order to move forward with our life and not let our adult children consume us.
Like you, the “Y” Step in SANITY has been a game-changer in my life for certain! When we “YIELD EVERYTHING TO GOD,” things take on a new perspective. Setting healthy boundaries with our adult children doesn’t mean we don’t love them. It doesn’t mean that we never help them. It means that we have a more divine perspective on how and when to help…and not handicap our kids. What a blessing that you have supportive friends and family….it’s hard to be objective sometimes, isn’t it? Stay strong.
Thank you!!
Thank you for your answers.
I feel like I am running on empty with my aging pparents. Sanity would be winning your book.♡
Contest #2
Sanity is living through last weekend. Thank God he blessed me with a wonderful husband
Am I doing this all wrong? I don’t do facebook, but I thought commenting here also entered you in the book giveaway. I need Allison’s book really bad to get past hurtful memories and to relax when seeing my aging parents. THANK YOU
