“Silent gratitude isn’t much use to anyone.” ~G.B. Stern
I truly believe that: “We DO NOT say Thank You enough!”
Don’t fool yourself into thinking people know how YOU feel about them. Trust me, THEY DON’T!
It makes a HUGE difference when we let people know when they’ve helped us, taught us that missing piece of the puzzle in the project we are working on, you know… The one piece we needed to complete what we were trying to do.
We need to let them know when they’ve made us giggle with their humor, or when they’ve made us smile, or made our day and especially when they are just a delight to have as a friend or acquaintance because WE KNOW we can ALWAYS count on them! Saying Thank You Matters – BIG TIME… ESPECIALLY to the recipient!
Think about it… It can be VERY lonely out there to feel like you DON’T exist to others, WHEN… they may REALLY be grateful for you, but NEVER took a moment to let you know! It works both ways… WE need to take a moment to let others know how grateful we are to have them in our lives!

Yes, Roz, thank you for the reminder, and thank you for being authentically you!
Here’s a fact… everyone needs 12 Hugs a day, and I think I’ll do a blog about that.
It seems technology has insulated us from interacting in person. Sure, we chat back and forth, like each others stuff, and check in from time to time.
Roz, I look forward to the day when I give you a Big Girl Hug in person. For now, you are being virtually hugged!
Hugs-a-lot,

You are absolutely right Donna… Social Media has changed everything tremendously when it comes to personal interaction. While it’s great to know there is always someone to chat with online, it can be a lonely existence when you really want to be around people in real life – to sit and have a cup of coffee or browse the stores.
Even for someone like me, who really does like my own company, it can be lonely not seeing a person. It’s sad when one has to consider a routine visit to the doctor or the supermarket, an outing to get away from the computer 😉 I hate to admit this, but I’ve become somewhat of a hermit. I really DO like people! 😉
I’ve not been to a live event in years. They are few and far between here in New York and the past few years I’ve had my own issues, so stayed closer to home.
Sending a great BIG {{{HUG}}} back at you!

It’s interesting that you said you had your “own issues,” Roz. Everyone does. Life just happens. Yet, we sometimes feel like life blindsides us. Other times, we acknowledge the blessing within the shifts.
Often times I feel like a ping pong ball. I bet you have, too! However, I am profoundly blessed.
When my mother honored us and came to share our home in 2002 (thank God she’s still “above the grass,” as she says, at the age of 91!), I became a caregiver by definition.
What happened in the process is that I needed to stay closer to home, “just in case.” The result is that I shifted my speaking, coaching and consulting platform to the Internet in 2010. I am proverbially a “work-in-progress.”
I, too, seldom go to live events, but you and I MUST figure out how to go together. Or, maybe it is the time for you to host an event in your backyard, Roz!
You have so much to share. I’ll proclaim out loud that “Roz does inspire!”
Hugs-a-lot,

Thank You so much Donna for the kind words. I don’t always get a lot of feedback, but I do know that people are reading, they are just not always saying! 😉
Years ago it felt like I was talking to air when posting on Facebook, then came a time when I really needed inspiration myself, and THEY WERE THERE for me. That was a lesson I NEVER forgot. People don’t always respond or even click the LIKE button, but that does NOT mean they are not reading or caring! 😉 With all that said… WE ALL need recognition from time to time!!!
I also changed the reason why I do things. I share because it gives me pleasure and I truly do want to help. The biggest bonus is that it often helps me on a personal level – to keep balanced and to learn things I might not have found otherwise. My own quotes actually inspire me when I re-read them. When that happened for the first time, I was truly blown away! It was what Dr. Phil would call a *defining moment!*
I don’t think that others have to suffer or be frustrated if I have been there before them. I’m not saying to give away the farm, but one has to be a human being, it’s NOT all about money to me!
If people are helped by what I share, then that is a bigger bonus. I’ve become very good at observing my own emotions and reactions to things, and that’s been a great source of enlightenment as to my own growth or to show me things I want to change and/or make adjustments to!
I’ve enjoyed the live events in the past. IF I went today, I would not be the same person I was when I went before, it’s almost like I grew up into my own right through the years. I no longer have to or want to be a people pleaser. I no longer want to be like anyone else or care what other’s think, what they think DOES NOT define who I am. No matter what, not everyone is going to like me or anyone else. It’s true freedom!
IF I can help one person to come to that realization about themself then all the time I spend will be worthwhile.
Thanks so much for your responses Donna, it’s been such fun sharing with you! I do hope that our chats help others!
