interactions: MY POINTS CAME ALIVE?
- 01/22/20 06:38 PM
It was a quiet, I was tired and I decided to spend the rest of the evening reading before finally nodding off. I bid farewell to ActiveRain via my laptop and gave it permission to enter the sleep mode at its convenience. In other words, I gave it the rest of the night off. A few hours later, I heard noise coming from my laptop. As I opened the lid, ActiveRain page came up and a character made entirely of my points appeared. What? Who are you? My name is.....

interactions: LICENSING IS JUST THE BEGINNING
- 04/25/19 08:38 AM
I am reminded when I went to find out for myself what college was all about and inquired in my fifties. I found it interesting and also contrary to common sense and everyday practices in regards to living and making a living. In all fairness, it did shed formal light on subjects but only in a fleeting way. The real lessons are to come and I noticed there is not enough emphasis on that
LEARNING
This is where life starts. We call it the "learning curve" & it covers everything from birth onwards. The basis is no one has ever been here before … (28 comments)

interactions: I NEVER SAID THAT (personal interactions)
- 10/09/17 08:57 AM
This happens more than we care to admit i.e. that another hears what they want to hear or what was sent and that's their experience. Often the one sending takes for granted that just because it was said their work is done. Of course if something doesn't go well, their fallback position is the famous cliche of...
I TOLD YOU SO
This is the over-used position of making yourself right when something goes wrong & having the smug attitude of innocence that you had nothing to do with it but everyone else did. It is also related to one of the oldest banes of mankind that … (10 comments)

interactions: GOOGLE ME GOOGLE YOU GOOGLE IT
- 10/22/16 12:36 AM
Being on the Internet is the same as when handing out your business card, running an ad or networking as it is identifying you, the blogger, poster or commenter and what you do, how you do it and why? It is an introduction of you to the world at large and it you can compare it to a light that is never switched off but left on constantly
DATA-BANKS
If I am seeking out data or discovery on a person or subject that is of interest to me, an investigation or inquiry is in order to either confirm, explore or consider more of the subject matter itself. I … (5 comments)

interactions: KEEPING PEOPLE WAITING
- 01/01/16 10:55 PM
When did this become acceptable? It is a contradiction in terms and conduct. Businesses beckon to us to come but then when we do, we are put on a type of hold. The hold or delay is countering the message making us consider to assess if it is worth it to stay. In some cases we must. In other cases we walk-away
HOLD ON?
It doesn't work any better over the phone either. If one answers the phone, then the caller should have needs met or the reason for calling addressed immediately. If not, why answer to begin with? Putting people on hold is substituted … (10 comments)

interactions: YOU NEED ME?
- 11/07/15 11:35 PM
I am weary of people who need as in needy or neediness. Enjoying something or interacting with it as a compliment, enhancement or healthy gain is what we normally all do and should. Becoming obsessive, compelled or tunnel-visioned by it takes it in another direction and may not end well for the participants. Why?
UH-OH
The one needing is assigning the needor a role or place and expects them to fulfill that part to meet the needs and satisfaction of the needee. An addiction to a certain way or conduct is taking place that if not corrected or caught, becomes the basis for a … (7 comments)

interactions: PEARLS SERIES AUTHOR BOOK SIGNINGS
- 12/03/14 05:06 AM
I love this time of year. Each season has something to offer but I want to share about the one we are in now. Christmas time is what we make of it and each one of us has a free-hand when it comes to this subject matter. Me, I like the interactions with people and bringing all the goodwill to bear
BOOKS BRING THINGS OUT OF PEOPLE
It is fascinating to talk with people who buy PEARL SERIES books and what they are thinking. Almost always, the subject of family, loved ones and life's issues join the conversation freely and it is then … (6 comments)

interactions: EASE OF USE IS NOT A REQUEST BUT A REQUIREMENT
- 11/18/14 10:56 PM
This title of the post applies to all aspects in the human realms. Making something so simple that it can be grasped is still a "can't" fail dynamic and everyone wins when it is engaged. Then why are some things not user friendly? The other day, someone shared with me about the train depots and systems in Mexico...I thought it appropriate as an example
THE GIRAFFE & THE ELEPHANT
In Mexico, you are dealing with all walks of life some urban, country, visitors, and the like who need to get around and they have different ways of identifying each train and where … (7 comments)

interactions: HELLO IT'S MARGARET ROME FROM ACTIVERAIN
- 09/21/14 08:53 AM
Stop. Just stop it now! Margaret Rome from ActiveRain? What a surprise. The first time she called me, since I screen anything outside my area code, she ran into my message bank. Un-deterred, she leaves a message (our secret) that has me calling her back right away. Little Margaret Rome. This woman is in the ActiveRain museum next to a head bust of Lenn Harley

She has called many a Rainer and has taken to putting legs on her blogs and her heart. She is moved by some mysterious force...call it love or phone addiction..it doesn't matter … (14 comments)

interactions: WHAT IS HAPPENING TO INTIMATE CONNECTION
- 09/16/14 02:28 AM
Giving a kid a hand held remote device that connects to a video game is the new pacifier and baby sitter and one of great conveniences too. Hey, it helps to develop eye to hand coordination and keeps their little baby brains active and baby sits them too. No nurturing takes place. Just noise and sounds. Then, as they get older, more devices are available but to what end?

interactions: WHOSE ON POINT?
- 09/11/14 12:30 AM
Point of sale AND point of contact too. Whoever has these most important positions holds the tempo, the key to the success of the persons offering the service or product. If they remain friendly, inviting, easy to interact with and approach, then the path to the operation is ready to receive volume traffic and results
RECEPTIONIST... should be receptive
Let's take the receptionist that one meets in person. They should well dressed, people friendly and eager to make contact. This makes the inquirer open up, allow trust to form and sets up the next phase quite well. If the receptionist is too busy or not performing … (4 comments)

interactions: RELEASE THE SONG WITHIN ONES HEART PEARLS FOR THE SOUL BOOK
- 08/13/11 07:51 AM
So often we think life is limited to the mind and the emotions and five senses and accept that existence. But something deep within us beckons us and tells us there is more to life than responding and reacting to our egos and physical life. But what is it? Where is it? Are you missing anything?
THE INNER PART...THE ONE THAT RUNS THE SHOW
The soul needs to be fed. It was not designed to be ignored. It should have a place of honor within you and be treated accordingly. It has something it uses to remind us of its presence … (0 comments)

interactions: GOOD COMMUNICATIONS MAKES FOR GOOD BUSINESS
- 03/23/11 09:28 AM
I meet various potential clients all week long. When we exchange contact data, I always ask them the following things...in regards to how they would like to be contacted? They say....what do you mean......?
I then explain...... the various ways that I use and ask what them what would be their preference.
Phone call....do you have an answering machine so that I may leave a message? When is the best time to call you.
Texting...I am finding out they many people do not text nor do they want to text...but they know about it. This is one of my preferences.
Emailing....while … (2 comments)

Robinson Crusoe is a true story of a man marooned on an Island and for the most part alone and in despair. He needed to un-learn and then learn things to survive. During that process, he came to appreciate the thought of the company of another Human Being

interactions: WOULDA......COULDA and...SHOULDA.......THE REGRET SISTERS
- 10/21/10 01:39 AM
I am reminding people constantly of the rewards to be found in the moment in whatever you are doing and wherever you are. That is the ultimate pay-off and place to be. Often I hear people making statements of regret based on hindsight and analysis.....this will never do
Here is an example submitted in a conversational form:
Two people meet and then they start talking and interacting together. The conversation is free flowing and mutually satisfying. It goes back and forth and forth and back and both prosper in the moment. When they are done sharing, caring, and dialoging, they prepare … (4 comments)

I see people all day along wherever I go....there is nothing unusual about that. BUT, what do you do when you see something that you want to point out to someone BUT you do not want to offend them and you think it will help them but you don't have the right combination of words......get the picture...?

interactions: REAL ESTATE AGENTS....MEETING & GREETING........make it count......
- 09/07/10 03:14 AM
If you want to get to know someone rather quickly, don't just ask how they are doing. You know how it goes....How are you ...fine and..... How are you...fine. We do that all day long. Ask how how are you feeling and be ready to get a whole new set of responses. Be careful, you may not know how to handle them all..
But you see you are going to get to really know someone. As a Real Estate agent, it is important that people get to know us. They do that by talking with us and dialoging. We tend to … (10 comments)
