Good Reasons for Standing your Ground in Relationships

On October 9, 2007, we got together to discuss Good Reasons for Standing your Ground in Relationships and as you tell by the picture below the TOT team was ready to go! We were fortunate to have Sharon Lovoy, one of our own OLV members, come and talk with us about "Standing our Ground". Everyone seemed very interested in what she had to say. We talked about a fear of conflict, being defensive, and an absense of trust.

We also discussed the difficulty in having crucial conversations with those around us. Sharon did a great job, taking care to get everyone involved in activities and discussions. She talked about the downfalls of a big ego, stating that having a big ego means "Edging God Out" and saying "we are the center of the world, not you!"

As always, after our talks there is always time for fellowship and great conversations. TOT is a great opportunity to meet other 20s - 40s Catholics like yourself.

We always seem to have plenty to talk about along with refreshments for everyone!

Thanks to all who attended. We had lots of fun! Also, we would like to extend a big thanks to Sharon... you are welcome back anytime! We really enjoyed your presentation and thank you for taking the time to talk with us. And, as a last note I think many of us appreciated being reminded of what it takes to make a great relationship, both at work, with friends, and in our personal lives. Thanks again to all who came and we missed you to those who didn't! Have a great month! The Team
