A Sassiverse Book

Boundaries & Fences

You get to decide how much space you need.

Sometimes a traveler needs a little room to think, breathe, listen, choose, or simply remain themselves.

Around the Sassiverse, we can give that space a shape.

Begin with Chapter 1

Welcome to the Book

Sometimes We Need Space

Maybe something happened.

Maybe you pulled your Parachute, found somewhere to land, and finally got your feet back underneath you.

Or maybe you simply noticed:

I need some space.

You may know exactly what you need.

You may have absolutely no idea.

That's okay.

We can get curious about the fence.

Your Landscape

There Is No Correct Fence

This book will not tell you which boundary you are supposed to choose.

It will not decide whether someone deserves a fence.

It will not decide who was right or wrong.

And it will not tell you what another person was thinking.

Instead, this book gives you stories, pictures, language, and questions you can use to explore your own landscape.

You are the traveler. You decide what fits.
