Kym, you've hit on something really important here. That so often I avoid saying difficult or scary things and then regret it later. I love that you said "daring is caring". Because sometimes that hard thing to say will really help someone. One way those of us who are scared of confrontation and avoid it at all costs can start to dare is by rehearsing. I mean practicing saying something out loud in the mirror, or writing it down and reading it aloud. This works for public speaking, so maybe it will work for saying difficult things. I think I'll try it!

Oh yeah Sue - I'm a big believer in practicing. Otherwise, the words evaporate right out of my head when I need to tell a hard truth!

Yes without rehearsal that’s exactly what happens to me!

I can relate to this one for sure! Sorry I didn't reply sooner. Not on here as often as I should be I guess! OOPS!
