I love reading. I love that when you read you can find something that just hits your heart.
Here's something I read recently that I thought was really beautiful. And something I need to remember...
"You may speak your truth, but soothe your words
with peace.
Tell your truth as soon as you know it. Yet tell it gently,
kindly, and with compassion for the hearer. Someone
needs to hear the truth from you today... But that person
also needs your deep compassion as you speak it.
Seek to say what needs to be said with softness, and
with a wide open heart. Remember, the truth can hurt...
But it hurts a lot less if you care how it feels while
saying it."

yes, I think I need to remember that also- the intent of kindliness is always there, but somehow often gets lost twixt leaving my lips and arriving at its destination!
