Let's Talk

 

Since the beginning of the year, I've posted a discussion question on Tuesday mornings with the hashtag #LetsTalkTuesday. I'm blessed with a diverse, informed, and thoughtful social network, and I wanted to tap into that resource to probe issues in an honest and inclusive way.

Some questions have covered contentious contemporary topics like politics and immigration. But many are more frivolous though no less penetrating, like childhood experiences and social etiquette. Like I said, posing a singular question to be answered by folks who come from all walks of life is naturally going to lead to some fun discourse.

I'm mindful that a lot of exchange on these social platforms is anything but mature, welcoming, and positive. Indeed, I'm horrified at how mean-spirited, divisive, and negative things can get. I can tune this kind of stuff out, so while I lament the tone of many conversations, they don't bring me down either. 

Nevertheless, it's nice to have a pick-me-up in the midst of all the noise. Whether its reminiscing about shared loves or having your perspective enhanced by hearing from someone with a different perspective, #LetsTalkTuesday has been that for me. Thanks to all who contribute!
