“My friends, love is better than anger.

Hope is better than fear.

Optimism is better than despair.

So let's be loving, hopeful

and optimists. And we will change the world.”

~ Jack Layton ~

Distance is my new
Answer to disrespect.
I no longer react,
I no longer argue,
I no longer dive into drama.
I simply remove my presence...

Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. 

The biggest problem with communication 

is that we don't listen to understand. 

We listen to respond. When we listen with curiosity, 

we do not listen with the intent to respond. 

We listen to what is behind the words.
