Honesty isn’t something we slip into when the right mood strikes. It’s a character trait that’s developed early in life. Over time, like a butterfly squeezing from its cocoon, an honest mindset becomes a part of who we are–how we view our world, and how we react to difficult situations.

So begins my new lens, The Gift of Honesty, which sprang from a lesson I learned the hard way at the tender age of three.  It would have been easy for my dad to overlook that teachable moment, but instead, he saw the bigger picture and offered me a gift that has followed me all my life–a gift that truly keeps on giving.

As we shop and plan for the upcoming holidays and beyond, why not also consider ways to pass on priceless gifts that don’t require wrapping paper and ribbon. Gifts of the heart have the power to permanently bless their recipients long after the festivities end.

I’m living proof.
