Negative banter has become an addiction for our society. Our news and media in all it's outlets plays on this addiction. To make a conscious choice not to engage in gossip or negative banter is not only cleansing but opens us up to our true selves and can bring us great joy. I had to learn this the hard way.......prior to the onset of a pretty nasty disease my life was full of negative banter. It wasn't until I disconnected through no conscious choice of my own that I realized the harm I had imposed upon myself and others. I still deal with my illness but my life is full of love, humor, warmth and I am fully connected to myself. So thank you for the post it is a reminder to stay in the moment, be present for myself and others and not to play in toxic puddles! many thanks Michelle http://healthy-holistic-living.com Hi,

I am going to print this off and give to clients because I cannot explain it better myself. I'm going to rename it "Toxy Gossy", cousin to "Stinkin' Thinkin'". Brilliant piece Carole....but that's because you are brilliant! Carole - an OUTSTANDING and succinct address of an overwhelming life problem.

When I had my nervous breakdown my doctor gave me some very interesting advice. He said "you may as well tell people what has happened because what they don't know they'll make up". Sad but true.
