My solution is to start with ‘hello.’

In reply to Cathy. Good point, ladies. Too many connections vs quality connections. Have a nice weekend both.

Maybe because there’s a lot of noise from these self-appointed gurus telling us “NO! Do it THIS way!” Makes it tough to just reach out, especially when reaching out is the goal.

I say be yourself and gurus be damned. They may have a large following, but I’ve always wondered about people who will follow blindly others’ advice. It’s the quality of the connections, not the quantity, that matters.

In reply to Darnell Jackson.

Hi Darnell: I admit, I’m not much for jumping in the middle of controversy. It has more to do with my personal energy Geiger-counter – a.k.a. is it worth the energy? than it does the controversy.

However, I appreciate that we have the freedom to do so. My only benchmark is to be nice about it, and to not personally attack those with different opinions. But, then I am a Pollyanna. 🙂

Thanks for taking the risk, Darnell. 😉

Good topic Cathy,

I’ve found the stuff that I almost wince about posting or sending because its “too controversial” or “HARSH” connects the best these days with people.

No risk = No reward

“They” say politics and religion are too risky and “we” shouldn’t talk about it.

I say where there’s risk there’s ACTION, deal the cards, 🙂
