Relationships are the key to a happy and fulfilled life, but many people feel that good relationships are just out of reach, somehow beyond their control. That should not be the case! The truth is that we are fully in charge of how we relate to others and others are in charge of they relate to us. We must have well-established boundaries so that others can do to us only what we allow them to do.Karen Delaney shares her thoughts on relationships in what she calls "stepping stones" that marked her pathway. Each page is a thought to consider and perhaps even ponder about relationships. This book is written with the intent to help you begin to live with more clarity in your relationships. By following the simple principles laid out in this book, you will find that others will be less able to manipulate and control your life, and instead of living a life of "default", you will begin to live a life of "design".
