And with that in mind, let’s all take a deep breath and relax.

    This post is timely for me. I’ve recently had encounters with a couple of different friends who were definitely projecting. In both cases they each sent me a text. My initial reaction to their words was to go on the defensive, but I soon realized that what they were saying really had nothing to do with me.
