Susan - I love how you highlight that integrity isn’t usually lost in dramatic collapses, but in the smaller choices we often overlook. So true! Your point about self-integrity particularly hit home: those small promises we break to ourselves can slowly erode self-trust in ways no one else sees. I also appreciate your framing of integrity as something living, shaped daily in small acts of care. You remind us that rebuilding integrity is about noticing, naming, and re-choosing. Thank you for for writing this and doing so with so much compassion. It matters.
Thank you, Bronce. Your words mean a great deal. You’re right—integrity is lived out in the small promises we make to ourselves, often unseen by others. For me right now, it looks like honoring my daily step goal: 4,000 today, soon moving to 5,000. (Increasing my activity is one of the reasons I brought my puppy, Percy, into my life.) Each time I keep that commitment, I feel the strength of self-trust building in the way you described. I’m grateful for your thoughtful reflection and for the way you carry this message forward in your work.
