The last couple of weeks , I’ve been having to make some very tough decisions. I’m always reminded at times like this how lucky I am to have such great and incredibly supportive friends and family in my life. And more recently to be working with a wonderful personal coach, like Jennifer Priest. This year has been filled with so many changes and Jennifer has been helping to make sure they are positive ones.
The debonair and thoughtful Stefan, recently sent me this word play on my name:
Very sweet of him and amidst a lot of tough decisions this brought a smile to my face. I just didn’t get why Stefan would see me as ‘mature’, especially since I like to think of myself as a modern day Peter Pan. Then I thought about the last few weeks and the decisions that were facing me and I got it. Even though, I am having more fun then ever and enjoy a lot of laughter and silliness, I, in part enjoy that because I’ve grown up.
A big thank you to Stefan and Jennifer for allowing me to see that maturing is a good thing!

I really only know you thru this blog and twitter but it seems you are a very grounded and intelligent person. and your site and writing is one of the reasons i have been motivated to blog and get my voice out there.And your dedication and support of the social media scene, especially women bloggers and writers So you never know the impact you can have on strangers or better yet strange strangers. Keep up the good work and remember you will always get a return for your kindness and openess.

Hi Emme
thankx a lot … remember kindness offers us an uncomplicated morality, liberated from every species.
@Steven Schwartz : To be able to determine the Level of Contact between strangers and yet better strange strangers, It would be nice if you could elaborate!
Remember Steven who you understand the stranger to be depends, of course, on how you define your own identity.
Welcoming strangers or as the gentleman Steven so puts it: [strange strangers] is an act of affirmation which says that we value the other prior to any judgment about them. Welcoming is based on a recognition of fundamental relatedness prior to any specific knowledge of who they are….
