Vulnerable

On Thursday I am to have a conversation where I must be brutally honest, honest to the point of vulnerability.  Needless to say, I am not looking forward to it.  But I wonder, if I were to be more vulnerable in everyday life, how many others would this simply act provide others the opportunity to do the same.  We so often live only on the surface where our heart is safe.  What if we intentionally chose to live a little further down?  Would relationships be more authentic?  Would wounds be tended to?  Would there be less gossip and more compassion?  Being vulnerable takes courage.  May you muster a bit more courage today.
