======================

 

I. Thou shalt not consort with people who make thee

feel bad about thyself.

 

II. Thou shalt cease trying to make sense out of

crazy behavior.

 

III. Thou shalt not keep company with those more

dysfunctional than thyself.

 

IV. Trust thy body all the days of thy life

(thy mind doth fornicate with thee).

 

V. Thou hast permission at all times to say "no,"

to change thy mind, and to express thy true

feelings.

 

VI. What is not right for thee is not right for

thy brethren.

 

VII. Thou shalt not give beyond thine own capacity.

 

VIII. What thy brethren think of thee mattereth naught.

 

IX. Wherever thou art, therein also is the party.

 

X. Thou shalt sing thine own praises all the

days of thy life.

 

Number (VI) takes a bit of interpretation. She means that judgmental of

myself, being a martyr, giving beyond my capacity, is not good me, and

doesn't benefit others either.

 

With love,
