A friend of mine tweeted the following last week:

No is a complete sentence.

I think it's when we forget that we don't have to justify our Nos that we get into deep water. We worry that we have to explain ourselves to others, yet if you simply say No, and nothing else, people seem to understand that it's really No. Funny how that works. The more we explain, it seems, the less we really mean it.

Great post, Claudia!

I say YES to saying NO! Thanks to lovely Claudia for saying what so many of us experience!

I, too, struggle with knowing when to “No” – thanks for the reminder that being true is more “right” than being nice.

Good food for thought Claud, wise woman. I am inspired by your bravery (all the time) and especially when it comes to being clear!
