Well, to continue on from last week’s thoughts about communication.
I want to thank you for your emails.  I am glad that my email was
beneficial to you.

I did get to have my conversation with my mentor and I did get to
express my frustration in a non-threatening way.  By the time I
talked
with her I knew it wasn’t personal (the miscommunication) and so I
was able to express how I felt and then we moved on to discuss my
challenges and strategies.  Expressing myself to you and to my other
business partners helps me immensely as well.  So thank you for
that
opportunity.

This is more about communication but in a different context.  I
would like to share this quote with you today to help you move
forward in your week.

“Keep in mind that the true measure of an individual is how he
treats a person who can do him absolutely no good.”  Ann Landers

Have a great day,

Mix hemp kernels or almonds or a little granola into your smoothies
to give them “crunch” value!

Did you get the hint that I am going to talk about communication
today?

It seems to be the Theme in my day.  It is so important to communicate
with others with no assumptions and perfect clarity.  So that there
is no misunderstanding or room for negative thoughts to sneak their
way in to your sub-concsience.

I have been trying to schedule time with a person who supports me in
my business; I get feedback and advice and I am looking for a good chat
about where I am going in terms of business.  This has been a very
frustrating task as she is busy and has a lot of people to support. 
Technology is also getting in our way - email is great when it works,
right?  The final straw came when our scheduled call got bumped due
to circumstances she couldn’t control at the time. I felt frustrated
and unimportant at the time (I didn’t know what happened at this
point).  I felt like a kid who doesn’t get their way and stamps their
feet trying to get attention. (I only stamped my feet in my mind).
All of these negative things popped into my mind.  I started
making assumptions - she doesn’t want to talk to me, she doesn’t have
time for me and so on.  Keep in mind it was 10pm at night and I was
tired. Morning brought a little more clarity and I knew I was going
to have to have a frank conversation with her and let her know about
my frustration and what I have been feeling in terms of our inability
to connect.  The thought of that conversation makes me uneasy but I
know I will feel better once it is done.  It has to be uncomfortable
in order to get to the root of the feelings. 

We have to set up better ways to communicate and be clear around our
expectations so that we both know where we stand - I am making
assumptions that she doesn’t really want to support me because we
haven’t been successful at connecting but it is more that she is
really busy and overscheduling herself.  She is making assumptions
that…well, I don’t know yet what her assumptions are.  That will
come out in the conversations.

I think we are both hoping for a successful outcome but it will take
communication and openness for it to be successful. 

So, the next time your spouse asks you do a task at home and you say
yes and the next day said spouse is upset that it is not done. Perhaps
there is a communication gap to fill - your spouse wanted it done
yesterday and you heard “do whenever you can, honey”.  Next time
agree on a time frame and then there are no assumptions and no angry
spouses.

Have a great day,

This morning I witnessed a women who was looking for a way to be
convinced.  She threw some objections up and I addressed them and I
when I asked the final question - are you willing to commit? - she
said yes. 

It is hard to gauge those who want you to talk them into something
vs
the people who just don’t know how to say no to you and so they are
stalling hoping that you will just go away.  It’s a dance we
have to take part in when marketing our businesses.

I will tell you what I appreciate.  I love fielding objections and
satisfying people’s need to know and I APPRECIATE when someone has
the integrity to be up front and honest and doesn’t keep dragging
out
a dance because they can’t say what they feel.

So, I am putting this out to the universe today.  If someone wants
you to buy their services or products and you have a thought or a
feeling or an objection - please share it with the person who is
marketing to you.  It shows your integrity to yourself and the
person
on the receiving end feels acknowledged - both are valuable.
Have a great day,

I received an email after last week’s Re(visions) from one my readers
who asked me how MUCH I wanted it to be like the “old” days.  She
believes as do many others that we will be living more like we did
a century ago - keeping our families fed & sheltered & remaining in
our communities and offering our gifts and skills in trade for others’
gifts and skills - living a much more peaceful life looking after
our family and our gardens.

Coincidentally - or maybe not - I attended a retreat on Wednesday at
my neighbours and this whole idea of getting back to our
communities and getting to know our neighbours again came up.  We
did an exercise where we listed our skills that we can share if we
were ever in a situation where had to rely more on what we had at
our fingertips rather than from half way around the world.  This is
what my reader had suggested as well - that we think about our gifts,
strengths, skills and share them with others.  It was an interesting
exercise and things came up that I wasn’t thinking of and I came up
with things that others weren’t thinking of. That is beauty of
community - bringing together of different minds to create one larger
mind with the eye to co-create a great community.

I admitted to my reader that I enjoy alot of the conveniences of our
present world but if it came down to it I know that I can exist
without the conveniences and we are beginning a great movement here
in New Dublin to create a fuller and helpful community.

Thanks to C. for the email and thanks to N.E.W. Networking Community
your great vision.

I had an email from a friend of mine who reads Re(visions).  He
shared with me that he and his wife celebrated her birthday in
style!  They went to Boston prior to her special day and then came
home and celebrated some more!  Thanks for sharing your celebration
with us, A.

Last week I put a quote out -
A well timed smile can be someone else’s miracle. - Scott Walkinshaw

What a great quote!  Thanks Scott.
We never know what others are going through in their lives and
sharing a smile with a stranger or someone you love may be just what they
need to get them through their day. 

Let’s put a smile on our faces today, and a smile in our voice too
when we are talking on the phone.  Pay that smile forward and share
it with everyone.

Have an awesome weekend.

Besides celebrating Easter we also spent 4 days celebrating my
daughter’s birthday!  Isn’t that awesome!  Not everyone gets
presents, special meals and family and friends around them for 4
days in a row.  I’m not known as an extravagent person (at least I
don’t think I am) but I tend to let go with the kids and their
celebrations (although there will be no more parties with 15
9 year old girls!?!!?!) I figure what the heck! Let them have fun
and enjoy the attention.  They are only kids once.

Then I was thinking about us as adults.  Why don’t we let go and
celebrate our special days as much as kids do?  Is it because it
isn’t as important and we don’t want to be reminded or is it because
we don’t think we should be so splashy and obvious about our special
days?  We are to be more mature and staid as adults, right? No fuss.

There are exceptions of course.  I am part of a Women’s Network and
our Program Director is a lovely woman.  She is very special and kind.
One of her “quirks” is that she loves her birthday and celebrates for
about 2 months on each side of it.  As her birthday approaches she will
tell people that her birthday is coming and what she is going to do
to celebrate.  She loves receiving birthday wishes before and after
her birthday.  After her birthday she tells people it was my birthday…
a month ago.  She is a hoot and a blessing.  We should all have that
energy and zest for celebrating.

Let’s celebrate like a kid.  4 days non-stop. Or at the very least,
share the special day with everyone you meet and receive the attention
with grace and pleasure.

Jeanette Johnston
