He was basically saying the same thing (it was pretty cool). At the end of his speech, he joked and said something like, "And I hope one of you aren't interviewing me for my next potential employment opportunity." (laughter ensued) I like how you encapsulated all this with your final sentence. Yes, it's so important to be open-minded about all of this. And, Lance, that's something which defines you in my mind -- being open to possibilities. YOU, my friend, are WISE. Hi Lance,

I like how you encapsulated all this with your final sentence. Yes, it’s so important to be open-minded about all of this. And, Lance, that’s something which defines you in my mind — being open to possibilities. YOU, my friend, are WISE.

FUN! I hope the sun is continuing to shine brightly over you -- we could use some of that here. It's been very overcast this summer thus far. But, the UV is still good! ;) Hugs to you! Hi Hilary,

Right on! Yeah, it is very fun -- and it wouldn't happen without you, Eric. I've been very happy that you've chosen to participate. I enjoy your posts very much. I'm looking forward to next month, too. See you then! Hi Eric,

I agree. Every now and then, I hear something on the radio or read something and think, Oh my, that's so amazing. And I love when I comes from the least likely of places -- for example, a child. Enjoy your day! Hi Sibyl,

And - for me - the fresh perspective that can put on everything. And I see real beauty when the wisdom of age and experience crosses with the wisdom of youth and new ideas - what a great thing when this happens and what very amazing things can come from this. And it all, at least for me, feels like it's hinged upon our being open to all of this (new ideas, wisdom of elders, etc).... Lori,

I am a fan of wisdom as well and love hearing the wise thoughts and insights from other people. It seems to me that wisdom comes from being able to connect with that inner side and then finding the words to express the guidance and lessons that flow from it. It really is fascinating to see other people who are able to do this so well. Lori: Great post and topic.

I AGREE! I AGREE! I AGREE! Pushing through all the situations you've conquered has bestowed a wealth of wisdom upon you. And, what I think is beautiful is that you have shared your experiences with many, many others through your blog, public speaking, therapy, your book, etc. In my view, it's one thing to be wise, it's another to do your best to pass along what you've learned. You are remarkable, Tess. I'm so lucky to know you and to have been touched by your branches. Let's be the best tree's we can be, right? ;) Hi Tess,

And, for the record, no worries about not linking JBN to it. I'm very chillax about this. Fly! Be free! Link whomever you want, and use the RAOKA logo if you want, too (just attribute the logo to Melissa with a link in that case). So happy to have you aboard. :) As I've mentioned in comments above, it really hit me this time the wealth of information I learn with each post from others. I agree with your comment, Topi. Blogging is such a rich experience for me -- a creative outlet and steeping in everyone's stories -- I enjoy it very much. I hope you're having fun blogging, too, lovely! ;) Hi Topi,
