When we would have a disagreement she would hold up her hand, palm facing me. "We both see the same hand (issue) but we see different sides. Be passionate about your side but give respect that someone else might see a different side." I try to live up to those words, sometimes it's harder than other times . But they are still wise words.
This recent debate about Hobby Lobby has led to some really heated and sometimes nasty postings on Facebook and on message boards. I always try to remember my sister's words before I respond to posts like that. Sometimes it's better ~ and healthier ~ to just move on.

That was my solution. I moved along to shop elsewhere.  And havev no issues with those who choose to keep shopping there. |
