Words can pull you up or blast you down
I wrote 2 blogs to day, be sure to read both.
I want to tell you a story about HOW words from another person can give you warm fuzzys.
I was never much of a student in school. In fact my mother had the wisdom to sign me up in the 4/4 program at high school. That meant I went to high school four hours and beauty school four hours each day and all day Sat at beauty school. By the time I graduated from high school I had a beautician license and went to work.
Many years down the road I stopped doing hair (people started making me nuts, no, I wanted the curl here...not here etc). I got involved in "having your colors done" (remember those days?) and I also got invloved with wardrobe planning and mind awareness seminars. I discovered that I wanted to help corporations with HOW their employees dressed, the dress for successs mode. Looooong story short, I ended up getting a job at Macy's SF corporate ,training personal shopper "how to be personal shoppers" and traveling around Northern California doing Dresss for Success Seminars at corporations. ( Wow ! how did I manifest that!) Any way, I was working with all college grads . Every one on the internal office team -regionals etc were all college grads. Many of the personal shoppers were "college grads". I some how had slipped in thru a "back door' to Macy's with out a college education. I always felt inferior about that. While I had the skills I needed to do the job, I had this feeling of not being good enough. AND what if one day they fired me because I did'nt have a college education ( I know better now)My writing skills were not that great. I didnt do a good job with sentance structure. In fact Macy's sent me to take a course ( didnt work).
After Macys I went to Gottschalks Corporate in Fresno and then onto Crown Books Corporate in Washington DC. Still, I always felt inferior about my writing skills. I always tried to avoid having to write a proposal. Or if I did, it was in bullet style.( OK, I know college grads who writing skills suck, but this was how I felt)
Not until now have I recived so many positive comments about my "writing style"
Friends, it FEELS really good !
Today I was emailing with a highschool friend Janis Lynn, now know as Jan Rivers ( lives in Stockton area, her and husband in real estate). At the end of her email she said " you are a good writer"
WOW...makes me feel good all over again. Makes me want to share/write more (maybe thats why I wrote 2 blogs today?)
I write from my heart and throw in my sense of humor. The blog does not have spell check, so I have to be careful and use a dictionary. So if there are snafus, it's cuz I didnt know any better, or didnt catch them like wonderful spell check can do.
Just those few words "you are a good writer" have lifted me up and made my WEEK.What I get is that Jan and you who read my blog enjoy reading it. I really love that!
Jan Rivers has the most beautiful skin ever. She could easily sell skin care, because we would all believe that the creme would make our skin look like her's. She has kept her shape and her looks, she knows how to dress. AND she has stayed sweet and giving in her heart. Her husband sings like a fox. He has even gone to Las Vegas ( and maybe other places) for karaoke competition. They are cute as can be together. At our class reunion he sang out on the dance floor all by himself, and Jan did a soft little sexy dance around him. It was fantastic! I will always remember it.
I hope Jan reads this. She said something (that she thought true) to me and it made me feel good. I said something to Jan (that I thought true) that I hope makes her feel good.
Makes me wonder...what if each of us said something to one other person that could lift them up. Just one line can do it...see what happened to me!
