Welcome
Heart Tales is a monthly newsletter for people who want to live life with character, wisdom, and faith.
Heart Tales is published by Jim Cyr, storyteller, crisis intervention specialist, and minister.
With the last issue of Heart Tales we began reflecting on character. We said that character is who we are in our thoughts, feelings, dispositions, and choices. Last month’s story of “The Golden Picture” illustrated how character is shaped by how we choose to respond to what we see when we look in the mirror. The choices are simple: run from what we see, accept what we see, or change what we see.
Wise choices about character always begin with honesty: honesty with ourselves and honesty with others. Here’s a story from my childhood about honesty.
