Today I start my Feisty Woman Words of Wisdom Series. Each week I will offer feisty words to start your day. Enjoy!

Respect: this word says it all!

I have placed this word in my classroom, prominently displayed for my over 40 years of teaching.

I have placed this word in my car to remind me to do this when I am driving. I even have it on my refrigerator!

Everywhere you go. Everyone you talk to. Every interaction in your life requires this word. For people you like and especially for you like only a bit, this word says it all.

If you can”t treat me with respect, I will ask you to leave. And you can come back into my life to chat with me again when your words are not necessarily in agreement with mine, but respectful of my opinions.

We can just agree to disagree and still be friends. We really need this in our world today.

Aretha had it right! RESPECT!
