They always seem to hit home in the message you give and this one is no exception! Recently my boss began working with me on my need to be right all the time. I didn’t even realize that was what I’ve been doing for so many years in all parts of my life and it was a very difficult conversation and several weeks of soul searching. I have been blessed by a leader who cares enough to have that difficutl conversation with me. I’m not ‘cured’ yet, but try to work on this by being aware. I now ask myself the question you posed and I’m also learning to just be okay with someone elses story – without then offering my own opinion. Thank you for continuing to share and bare your own failures to your public in hopes that we can all learn and grow! Happy Holidays!

So, I will join the pact and hope that … one by one, conversation by conversation, family by family, we can positively impact the world. Thank you for causing me to look at myself in the mirror, feel regret for past behavior, and look for a better way.

The holidays should be a happy time and too often it’s a time of stress and fustration from differing family opinions.

Happy Holidays to all!

I’m going to keep smiling unless it is illegal or immoral!!
LOVE, JOY AND PEACE to you and yours.

I wonder how many other areas of your life this same behavior has affected? I lost my father when I was 6 and my mother when I was 32. I value each and every moment that I get to spend with my grown kids and extended family. Some things are best learned the hard way.

Thank you for giving clear, humorous and defined markings to the land mines of family gatherings. There is always alot of collatoral damage during holiday family gatherings, so I thank you for the gift of (smart) gab.
