8/15/2011 (a 9 day)

The gentle, caring nature of the nine (9) will soften the ragged edges of any day.  Your desire is to help, so encourage, to uplift and to protect.  Understanding is the gift you have to offer today.  Apply it well.  If someone asks for your help, give it.  It may take little of your valuable time but it can make a huge difference for the person in need.  Remember this; what you put out, comes back to you magnified and multiplied.  Just be glad you are putting out something good today.

Angel Whispers:

Acknowledgement is something that everyone needs.  Acknowledgement that we exist, that we matter, that we have value...that we are not invisible, after all.  One of the easiest ways to aknowledge someone is to call them by name.  When you are speaking to someone, consciously use their name in your conversation and comment on the most positive thing you notice about them.  It indicates that you are fully present and have an interest in who they are.  This is very easy when that person is wearing a name tag, but how often do we take the time to truly notice the person or the tag.  If there is no name tag, ask their name and use it at once, so you will remember it.  With direct eye contact and the use of a name, you will both feel a stronger connection and rapport.  Whatever business you have with each other will usually run more smoothly.  Isn't that worth a moment of your time and consciousness?  It could be fun to play the "name game" with yourself at the end of the day.  How many of the cashiers, service people or waiters did you get the names of,....and how many of those names do you actually remember?
