Hi Kathy, does this mean that now you have this forum, that I have to write in, instead of chatting to you? lol From Your very good friend

Dawn, Hello, 4 children is also alot of work, you need to find a balance if you want to build strong Relationships with your friends, but your family is top priority.You can write or talk to acouple aday to reinforce your friendship process,I do not think people will think your ignoreing them, just write them quick note even ifs its to just say hello.As far as you feeling you have to sign up or buy peoples products, thats silly.We all do what we can, building Relationships do not depend on wheather we buy or sign up.thanks, kathy

Hello Jerome, Your question is Building strong relationships involves being truthful?I personally would not want a relationship unless it was truthful. You need to be true to yourself first before you can be true to others. You can be truthful in a loving way and if the person was truly your friend and knows how you are, then they will appreciate your honesty. you say that honesty can also make enemies well then there not much your friends if they will not listen to you. Let me use myself as an exampl,I make it known off the bat Im very open and honest person,I tell you just how I feel and think.So I have already established myself with people.So if someone asks me something they know I will answer it honesty weather they want to hear good or bad.They either want me to tell them or they dont ask me.Telling someone the truth if you do it lovingly cant hurt them.And its only your opinion and feelings on what you believe. hope this has helped. kathy
