This is a great thing Jim, you working on this inspires me to keep working on it. Sometimes I listen to myself speak "about" someone else and I feel like I am living a double life, the one that I whisper quietly and the one that I speak loudly and clearly. What a sense of freedom it would be to always follow your suggestion; "only speak or write that which you would speak directly to their face if you had the chance". To speak honestly and openly about others means you have to be honest and open with yourself. Sometimes when we are tired it seems easier to slip into being small. Keep working on it Jim, I will too.
