Mike, that phrase comes from a “blessing card” I purchased from Deb Aaron at www.theblessingproject.com. I do not know the author, but I love the phrase.

You quote: the words we speak become the house we live in….a quote or a poem you mention.

Could you please tell me the source of that quote/poem (ie the poet and the name of that poem).

Thanks in advance and kind regards,

Mike

I have realized that my compulsive “self-improvement” is little more than constant criticism. While I still want to reach my goal of feeling more in control of my life, I need to be kinder to myself!

You made it, so positive self-talk must have worked! I knew you could do it. Now just take a step back and be glad in your accomplishment.

Comment on The Thing About Free by Debbie Rosemont

Betsy,

This has been my experience as well. I have found that when I have offered things for “free” (ie: a seat in a seminar) the commitment on the part of the receiver is often not there (ie: they cancel or don’t show at the last minute). When a price has been paid, there is the perceived value you refer to and usually a committment and level of interest that coincides.

Thanks for your great blog. I find value in every post … I guess there are some exceptions to the perceived value of something “free”

Great observations, Betsy. I love hearing stories like this. Business networking really is something that you have to participate in, for it to work well. And who knows where that can take you! Off to check out JR’s music myself now… I need some fresh tunes on my iPhone!
