wow. lesson 7 has been a biggie for me. i always thought "no one is going to tell me what to do" "i'm no push over" "if you don't want to hear the uncoated blunt truth, don't ask me!"

i now realize that i probably made people fearful, uncomfortable and unable to be themselves around me! how awful. bitchy behavior does not win friends or respect. lesson 7 has given me another option. a much better one!!

lightblub moment!!

Mel, with your insights and self-honesty you can't go wrong. Good for you!

I always remind myself it's not a contest, it's not about being right, it's not about winning...It is totally about being heard. If I don't feel I've been heard, I try to say it a different way. (I guess that makes me a Nag?)

Be good to yourself, Carolyn
