There’s still a place…
There’s still a place for decency. For kindness. For respect and tolerance. There’s still a place for integrity and generosity. And goodwill towards others. There’s still a place where we can inspire hope and build the kind of world we’re proud to live in. And it begins in each of us.

Speak to be heard
How often do the negative & disrespectful things that people say make you change your view? If you don’t communicate in a way that gets through to who you’re trying to communicate with, it doesn’t really matter what you say. Speak to be heard.

Kindle sale $5.19
