Good Morning!

One day my husband said to me, “Don’t kid yourself. You love power, sweetie.” He was right and I came to accept that. But I liked using my power to help shy people. I went to places in different parts of the country and met with relatively small groups of people. Whenever it was feasible, I’d ask everyone to give their name and say a sentence about their responsibility at the beginning of the meeting and make notes. Then after a while when someone brought up a controversial issue, I’d pick out a name and say, “What do you think?” so-and-so. I enjoyed those meetings and always went back to my office having learned a lot. Sometimes the quiet people are the ones who really understand what is going on.
