In Between Space

Friends and acquaintances are finding themselves creating and labeling spaces - yours and mine. No matter where they sit on the spectrum of issues currently facing our world, they are stepping away from friendships, family and acquaintances.

Now, let’s put it out there. You get to make the call when a relationship, whether face-to-face or via social media, is terminated. You, and you alone, know your reasoning. You, and you alone, determine whether the contact is serving you well.

But, before you unfriend or send that last text, think about the potential of missed opportunity. Be honest and see if there is a possibility for growth and understanding if the relationship were to continue.

It is remarkably too easy to remove folks from our lives these days. Literally, it can be the tap of a button. But this tap, tap, tapping can shut us out of the in between space. And, often, it's the in between space that reveals the areas in need of growth, nurturing, or even change.
