Honesty and Vulnerability the Key to Intimacy

In order for others to trust us, we have to be able to become vulnerable, and show our vulnerability. Honesty and vulnerability go hand in hand.

Looking For Love In All The Wrong Places

Today, November 10, 2008, is one of those days where many bloggers have chosen to unite together and blog about refugees that have been separated from their families.
