Respect shows itself in different ways. Everything from the respect we give someone who’s older than us, respect we show authority, and even our own self-respect. You can show it, earn it, give it, even expect it.
This month, in line with the #SunshineYourFeed challenge, we’re going to explore the many faces of respect in the blog and journal writing prompts.
We’ll find out a little more about what respect means, how to show it, and how our own self respect plays a role in our life.
Let’s take a respectful journey through our thoughts and find out what respect really means to us.
