[Published on Huffington Post] When it comes to voicing issues or concerns, there are basically two types of conversations. The first is one that erupts out of frustrations.  Like a balloon that is holding too much hot air, this conversation pops when least expected sometimes causing irreparable damage.

No one involved is prepared to deal with this situation at this time.  When it comes about suddenly words might be spoken that were never intended but the heat of the moment bubbled them to the surface. More often than not, this conversation doesn't bring about the desire results of bringing people together.  On the contrary, it tends to widens the gap.
