The ABC's of my values

Did you know that the root ball of a tree mirrors its leaf span?
I think of values as the root ball of my tree… me, who I am.. steadying me in the wind, my anchors. Naming those values though can sometimes be tricky and today…..I found a site that lists over 400 values! With a glass of wine in hand I went through the alphabetized list and jotted down the ones that resonated. In its totality it reads more like a manifesto of sorts. Which ones have an impact in YOUR life?
