"Simply put, there is nothing, nothing in the world that can take the place of one person intentionally listening or speaking to another."

Jacob Needleman, A Little Book on Love

Isn't that why we are here ladies? Thanks for always listening and sharing your voices. Happy day!

This is the most important thing we can do for another human being, I think. And we do it so infrequently in our rush-rush mode. I believe that things would be a lot smoother in our lives if we spent more time listening and less talking! :-))

huh? Did you say something? Just kidding...couldn't resist! Dotsie that's a great quote and so true.

My daughter was talking last night about working with a personal trainer for the first time and how wonderful it was to be 'all about her for an hour'. Then she said she understood why having a life coach would be nice...because they listen to you and it's all about you!

I think we all have an intense need to be heard and to be known and understood...

Thanks for the quote and for the site that provides us the opportunity to do that for each other!

So true, I also think we need to DO less. It's good for us to have down time.
