Harsh Words Wound ~ Kind Word Bring Healing

Posted on August 3, 2015 by Sharon Rose Gibson

Today, I stopped at a fast food/small grocery in our small town. I chatted with a friend outside who highly recommended the grilled chicken salad with pineapple, blueberries and strawberries. So I ordered it and it lived up to her raving. Delicious!

The young woman who waited on me at the counter went out of her way with her thoughtfulness and consideration of me as a customer.

I make an effort to recognize good customer service so I thanked her and complimented her on her considerate ways. “Her eyes teared a little as she smiled, “Thank you for saying that to me.” A woman customer yelled at me earlier. You know sometimes it gets so hectic here and it’s difficult to keep up.”

Stay Out of the middle of a Quarrel

Posted on March 26, 2015 by Sharon Rose Gibson

“Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears
is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own.”

Have you ever jumped into the middle of a quarrel and later realized it wasn’t your problem to solve? In the meantime maybe someone turned around and attacked you and you got hurt.

Wisdom comes when you know what is your responsibility to fix and what is not. People need to settle their own issues with each other. If you care about the individuals involved it’s not easy to stay out of the middle but it’s wisdom that protects you.

Be Kind to Each Other ~ You’re Not Stupid

Posted on January 24, 2015 by Sharon Rose Gibson

As a guest teacher, I hear kids calling each other “stupid.” I don’t like this and try to address when I can because it’s not true and it’s damaging to their sense of value and worth.

This is a broader cultural problem as well. We have a tendency to think making mistakes means you’re stupid.

Let’s face it, we all make dumb mistakes from time to time and sometimes daily. However, that does not make us “stupid” but simply means we’re imperfect humans. Most of us are intelligent people in varying measures who make mistakes and hopefully we learn from them.

You Don’t Have to Worry About Competition

Posted on August 13, 2014 by Sharon Rose Gibson

When you know who you are and
What you have to offer
You don’t have to worry about competition
Because
No one can be who you are or
Can do it in the way you can do it
Even if others offer similar services
YOU are unique and special
You have a niche no one can fill
