Experiment in class

This will be practice on loading video into my blog.

Wish me good luck.

Noticing, Acknowledging, Seeing, Hearing, Understanding

One of the things each of us wants… is to be validated…

to be seen…

to be heard…

to be understood…

to be accepted…

essentially…in a word…to be noticed. And when this is not happening in one’s life…at least to some minimal extent…life can become sad and lonely…sometimes pretty quickly…sometimes slowly and almost imperceptably. And when this is not happening during a conversation with someone… especially a conversation in which one or the other thinks that their particular point or thought is important…the result is often frustrated, and even angry, defensiveness…which leads to… yup… you guessed right… an arguement. Understanding this process…and then understanding how we tend to get very bogged down in…agreeing or disagreeing…(which usually precipitates very dissatisfying results in the discussion)…and finally beginning to purposefully notice…or validate…the other person…will produce profoundly different…positive… outcomes.

Try it…you’ll like it…

A Bit Later…on down the line…

Now I know how to do a weblog post…

and edit it…

and create a link to another site…

Notice my very new blog

Hello. Welcome to the first time I have ever blogged…about anything.

I’m wondering how to do all this.
