Lea Says Be True to Yourself

Lea wishes some people would understand that not all attention is good attention.

By Lea Black

Be true to yourself.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Miami on Peacock and the Bravo App.

I've always said that reality TV brings out the best and worst of people and I think this reunion perhaps personifies that.

I find it sad and desperate that some feel that all attention is good attention and that there are no boundaries, including criticizing the most innocent among us.

In the spirit of the holidays and the new year -- I am hoping everyone has had a great holiday and that all of your dreams for this year have come true and that all of your wishes for the coming year manifest themselves in miraculous ways and at miraculous speeds. And let's keep those who are suffering present in our minds and send them comforting thoughts.

And above all, be true to yourself and don't compromise who you are -- you come into the world alone and you will leave it alone - no-one and nothing is or ever will be worth the compromise.

I would just like to leave you with a quote that brings perspective to the obvious: "In the end it will not be the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends that we remember", Martin Luther King, Jr.

Spread the love and keep the peace and #don'tdealwithstupid.
