Living with Integrity

Integrity has a inward and a outward aspect.  The primary step in integrity entails reconciling our own conflicting inner parts so our thoughts, speech and action is aligned to our intention and action.

the next step in integrity is the courage and wisdom  to authentically state our feelings and say what we want or need
