Honesty One of the steps I suggested in last week’s post to find peace was to “be frank.” I grew up hearing the phrase “honesty is the best policy” repeatedly. It seemed to make sense to me when I was young - unless that honesty seemed destined to make someone else uncomfortable. Somehow I came to the conclusion that my job was to make everyone happy - and I came upon too many instances where, if I were to be completely honest, I could see how it would be awkward for others - and for me. Particularly where it involved something someone else had done that I felt sad or hurt about, I never dared tell them. I’ve learned better. There are times when, in interacting with each other, we don’t realize how our actions are perceived. As I’ve studied healing, I’ve found that it is vital to own our emotions - and to share them appropriately so that we are more ‘real’ in our relationships. Have you found a way to share your emotions, appropriately, where it has helped you heal relationships, while also finding your own inner integrity and strength? Share with us - and we’ll continue the discussion on Thursday. Roslyn Reynolds Geertsen, SOLO - Getting It All Together When You find Yourself Alone
