I recently did an interview for the Romance Junkies(great site by the way)where my honesty was praised. My first reaction was this is terrific, but then I got to thinking about the compliment.
There was a time not so long ago in my life when the fact that I am honest was considered a detriment. I’m not talking about being purposely hurtful to people. There’s honesty and then there’s HONESTY. At my old job, people got very upset over the fact that I spoke the truth. Now I admit, sometimes my delivery needed some work, but when did honesty become something bad?
I always preferred being around people who were honest, even if I didn’t want to hear what they had to say. At least I knew where they stood on things. And for good or bad, I can respect that in an individual. It’s just too bad more people don’t approach life that way.

Congratulations on your interview, went to ck but it’s still not posted. Honesty or truth can be hard to take, but you have to live by your code, your set of values that makes who you are. Some people will like it, others won’t, the ones who love you will apreciate it. I think you’re a sweetheart.

I just wanted to thank you again for the great interview and to let people know it’ll be up August 1st.
They will enjoy it and find that you’re not blunt but a caring person and that comes across big time.
Have fun this weekend.
Ares is calling me.
