P.S. To My Dear Friend....Listening is an art of the heart!

I will not name this blog until it is finished...

I had an interesting phone call today. A wonderful man with whom I have a great deal of respect therefore, his name I will not reveal, as our conversation is meant to stay between the two of us. I will tell you this though...When someone calls you out of the blue and says they are having an off day, or just need someone to talk with, take it to heart...don't joke, to change the mood, as you feel this will make them feel better. Be solid. Be real. Be there in that moment, with them. Most times this is all that is required in "helping" anyone. Listening is an art of the heart! It requires nothing more than an ear, with a touch of sincerity, and a pinch of love. Perhaps even a tad of empathy/sympathy for the other persons present situation.

My friend and I closed our call with laughter and insight. He no doubt doesn't realize how much he helped me today, just by calling to say "hello, how are you doing?" It meant the world to me to hear those words..."hello, how are you doing?" Simple little words to say, yet the power in them is just fantabulous! < (not a typo)

He won't know that by calling to confide with me, how the trust factor from my previous blogs has truly opened up in such a way as to say to me..."Perhaps I am getting the point across as I had hoped I would". He won't know that he totally made my day! Trust...It feels so good. (smiles)

Being sincere in our writing, whether of blogs, or articles, is so very important. Maintaining that trust once it has been given, and holding dear to that trust as though it were a new born baby, is priceless. Keeping that trust close to your heart at all times is a necessity in any relationship. As dear as we hold our names, and reputations, in the course of branding ourselves, so too, must we hold dear to our friends in trust.

P.S.
To my dear friend, if you read this, just know that I so enjoyed our conversation. I look forward to hearing from you again! (smiles)
