While reading the obits weeks ago, (no, we're not 75 years old, we just really adore and appreciate the writing in the Globe & Mail, to the point where we must devour absolutely every single section) we stumbled upon a noble woman who was described as a truth-teller.
And for some reason, this word stuck with us.
We'd love to be described as a truth-teller.
And in the big scheme of things, when it matters. We truly believe we are a truth-teller.
But sometimes, (just occasionally) we enjoy chewing off little white lies. Not the "no baby, of course we didn't cheat on you" type. More of the "of course we ate breakfast, and of course it was a banana" type of fib. We don't see it so much as a lie, as a stretch of the truth. It's a game. Call us on it. We dare you. Sometimes we say things, just to see how they sound out loud.
But back to the heart of the matter.
We pride ourselves on our desire to be upfront and honest.
To take accountability over our behaviour, our work, our choices.
Sometimes we mess up. And we always take accountability.
Do you?
x's & o's,
Leslie
