    As someone who is very blunt, it’s great to learn how to say things in a way that doesn’t ruffle feathers - even when I don’t mean to.

    I'm in Texas too! You're tutelage is useful and beneficial.
  • Awesome strategy. It is full of compassion as well and no underlying offensive motives. I imagine my next conversation as such.
