On Being on a Zoom Call with a Client When the Doorbell Rings:
I had to answer this time.
I have a neighbor that has become a really nice friend. She's retired and doesn't understand about work hours and silly things like conference calls.
⭐Although...she has just started an online elderberry business which is already taking off. I learn a lot from her every time we talk. Usually outside!⭐
But today while I was talking to some terrific colleagues, I could see her walking from her yard to mine with a handful of these gorgeous flowers.🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺
I answered the door quickly and thanked her so very much for her thoughtfulness.
I'm not sure about you, but I think these moments let others see our humanity and our other relationships and partnerships.
If we learned one thing throughout the pandemic it's that people matter more than anything.
I'm honored that she thinks of me as she's collecting wonderful living products out of her garden.
I wish you could be here and smell this bouquet with me because they would just about knock you out they're so fragrant!
So when I look at these flowers the next handful of days I'll be thinking about Jeanette for sure...but also about the three gentlemen on the call that were gracious enough to understand why I had to open that door during our important call.
That tells me something about those men too, doesn't it?
😊Do your best today.
😊Spread some joy.
😊Inspire someone.
😊Have a laugh.
😊Relax... and help someone around you relax also.
We've come a long way in the last year.
❤️I think we're getting better.
❤️I think we're being better people to each other.
❤️I think we're starting to do better for ourselves and others.
❤️I think we're finding some overdue balance.
❤️I think, no, I know... we are #BetterTogether! ❤️
Take time to be grateful for your amazing network, for your friendships and all of the beauty surrounding us.
