In today’s litigious society giving one’s word my seem archaic, yet when one gives his/her word that something will done, it is a sign of trust. When we give our word, act on it, we earn deep levels of trust. When we give our word it create a bind between the giver of the word and the receiver of the word. Giving our word is a commitment to act. Those who follow through on giving their word etch their character in stone.
I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).

Yes, trust is so precious. Once ruined, it may never be recovered. 🙂
