A Letter to Not Hold Onto

I love my people.

Honesty is probably the most attractive thing in a person. When you’re honest, you bring safety. You create an aura full of nakedness. An essence of  truth and openness. A desire to just BE with that person.  Honesty ensures connection. Sharing your true self. Your straight-forward thoughts. Your sincere wishes. Your darkest secrets. Your wildestContinue reading “I love my people.”
