Tell the Truth and Run!

Tell the Truth and Run or tell the truth and duck...folk sayings from Sweden

These phrases are some of my favorites and I used them all the time when I had my  

psychotherapy practice. Now, here's the sayings for anyone that I meet who has nervousness or concerns about saying just about anything that they believe in. Be a hero, tell the truth and work for goodness.

All of us were heartened by the victory of the US Women's Soccer team this weekend. A glorious victory from our tenacious, hard working team and we are all so proud of these female heroes. What I am also so very proud of is just this---that team not only walks, runs, kicks, their truth, they also live it and say it. "Equal pay for equal work, women's rights; LGBTQ rights, and finally, politically by refusing to go to a White House occupied by those who support bigots, misogynists, and cruelty. [below David Horsey's cartoon, 7/9/2019 in the Seattle Times]. This is supremely the opposite of what those women on the team want or stand for. They tell the truth, they deliver that truth in all ways.

It is going to take all of us to save this poor world, and I would like to plead with all of the young athletes in the US to do the same. There is no honor among liars and no one lies more on a daily basis than the current administration. 

To all of you who were touched by this scrappy, valiant team, tell the truth and run: run for office; run to volunteer your services to those in need; run to vote for morally competent people; run to vote for qualified,  competent people; run to support science and run to be a citizen that we can be proud of.
