Dear Friend,
"Sometimes it is a great joy just to listen to someone
we love talking."
Vincent McNabb, God's Way of Mercy
Have you forgotten what a joy it is to listen to
someone you love talking? Do you even know what
it is to listen to someone with all your attention...to
be fully present to another person? Listening to
another with all of your being is a generous gift. Can
you remember when you've been listened to that
way? Can you remember when another person
looked you in the eye and gave you his or her full
attention, without interrupting, in such a way that
you felt honored, valued and even loved? It is a
wonderful feeling to be listened to that way and
listening to others that way honors them and creates
in us the opportunity to really hear what is
being said, even between the words...beyond the
words. Once you begin connecting with people in
that way, you will be amazed by the gifts you
receive.
This week, be a generous listener. Listen with your
ears, your eyes, an open posture and an open
heart. Give your full attention to those who are
speaking to you and when you notice your mind
wandering to what YOU are going to say next, gently
remind yourself to listen. There will be plenty of time
to come up with a response, if one is required, after
you have listened.

From Rachel Naomi Remen, MD
Author of "Kitchen Table Wisdom"
The most basic and powerful way to connect to
another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the
most important thing we ever give each other is our
attention. A loving silence often has far more power
to heal and to connect than the most well-
intentioned words.

Some thoughts to ponder...
When people talk, listen completely. Most people
never listen.
Ernest Hemingway
"If you want others to like you, if you want to
develop real friendships, if you want to hep others at
the same time as you help yourself, keep this
principle in mind: Become genuinely interested in
other people"
Dale Carnegie
My words are a whisper, your deafness a
shout.
Jethro Tull
No man ever listened himself out of a job.
Calvin Coolidge
The most basic of all human needs is the need to
understand and be understood. The best way to
understand people is to listen to
them.

A New Experience of Your Life
True Freedom 8 week seminars kick-off
Anyone can live an average life, getting through
each day and through each week. But to have an
extraordinary life, most of us can use some help.
The first 7 Steps to True Freedom 8 week program
started last night but space is still available in the
Thursday night series that starts September 28.
This program, presented in a group setting, is the
same program offered to one-on-one life coaching
clients . One client who completed the 7 Steps to
True Freedom said "Words cannot describe the
changes my life has experienced through the 'True
Freedom' program with Coach Dan Wilson. It feels like
every day serves to re-define 'how high is high in my
life." Another said, "Dina opened my mind to a more
positive way of thinking, a different way of speaking
to myself and others and the unlimited ongoing
possibilities of choices."
Take the first step toward living the life you really
want by registering for the 7 Steps to True Freedom
seminar program today!
