Listening is a skill that I've learned to develop as time rolls on. I'm glad you are a listener, too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456360103620523621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260474823266276024.post-64381283790168365922012-10-11T06:09:56.419-04:002012-10-11T06:09:56.419-04:00Hi Corinne, I think it's a worthwhile read, bu...Hi Corinne, I think it's a worthwhile read, but there's a lot of academic type speak to get through. The messages are good. Last night I read a page and it was like she was holding up a mirror to my life.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456360103620523621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260474823266276024.post-63636595629757042322012-10-11T00:02:54.580-04:002012-10-11T00:02:54.580-04:00I've not read the book, but haven't you ev...I've not read the book, but haven't you ever had a feeling to do, or not do something? To stay away from something you'd planned to do, or to call someone when you don't really know why you should? To wait a second after the light turns green before entering an intersection? Instinct. Inner voice. Still small voice. Whatever you call it, you should listen to it and act accordingly. Every time I've ignored it, or talked myself out of it, I regret it. Even something as small as a feeling that I should give someone a compliment or speak a kind word (and I try to tell myself they're going to think I'm nuts) - it's turned out to be the right thing to do every single time. The one time I felt I should wait a minute and have a good look before taking off on the green light, I was glad I listened. I'd have been T-boned by a guy running a red light if I'd proceeded. I've learned to listen.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313237142656662148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260474823266276024.post-23598522084876853182012-10-10T19:39:15.896-04:002012-10-10T19:39:15.896-04:00That's on my list to read, actually!
