Excellent way to start of the 1st day of May> here's another quote that may add to the discussion and also remember that the words listen and silent have the same letters....just in difference places!

Listen to silence. It has so much to say & the quieter you become the more you are able to hear – Rumi

Thank you, David. Great! I really appreciate that and I'd love to share with you. I've got a framework and the beginning. I'll DM you on LinkedIn when I'm ready to share the first few chapters. I hope you have a great day. Emma

"Cultivate the discipline of listening to the sound of the genuine in yourself.”

That is something worthwhile of considering intentionally. Especially in the morning, when we may be able to hear ourselves better, and before the day inflicts us with everyone else's sound pressure.

Morning does have an almost mystical power that doesn't exist at any other time of day.

Oh, thank you. Okay, so I need to refine the idea, but I know I want to add to the conversation about introversion and confidence so ably begun by Susan Cain and Devora Zack. Of course, Brené Brown is also very inspiring in this area as another introvert who is empowering others. So, it's somewhere in that ballpark. I would love to hear your thoughts when you have time. I'm going to start with writing a plan tomorrow to see what I can add that's new and helpful.
