Interesting how you use this expression to define a „circle of trust.“ So far, I‘ve come across the expression only in the sense defined by Stephen Covey, i.e., as „circle of concern“ vs. „circle of influence.“

Notwithstanding my splitting of hair above, I‘m with you. Accepting someone the way they are probably is one of the biggest gifts we can bestowe upon them! 🙏🏼🫂
