Integrity is the recognition of the fact that you cannot fake your consciousness, just as honesty is the recognition of the fact that you cannot fake existence.
From the standpoint of integrity, I think we all need to own up to our dirty little secrets.

We__e now at a moment in time when unconventional families (even thirty-year triads and gay couples) are losing their children in custody battles because their families don__ conform to mainstream ideas about what a family should be. Given this context, I want to be someone who stands up for my choices even if they__e unpopular, even if I get snickers at cocktail parties.

It means to establish one's territory, to find one's pack, to be in one's body with certainty and pride regardless of the body's gifts and limitations, to speak and act in one's own behalf, to be aware, alert, to draw on the innate feminine powers of intuition and sensing, to come into one's cycles, to find what one belongs to, to rise with dignity, to retain as much consciousness as possible. -Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With The Wolves, Singing Over The Bones, P10.
