About Linda

I am a…

Concerned citizen, Global soul, Idea generator, Life mentor, Parent, Writer/Editor

I'm passionate about

Mind, Soul, Body. Reading, listening, sharing, learning, every minute, every day. Time outside is food for the soul. Establishing sincere connections, and understanding (not necessarily agreeing).

An idea worth spreading

Communication is the key to everything. Words are but a small part of the transaction of communication. If you are impecable of your word, and your entire being communicates in symphony with your words, then you improve your chances to be understood. Listening is the better part of communication. Empathic skills should be cultivated every day of your life. Much of life wisdom and collective thought are reduced to phrases, tried and true. Everything turns out okay in the end, if it is not okay, it is not the end. It IS a gift to be simple. Our life is truly defined by the thoughts we think. Persuasion is the art of letting others have your way. Be careful of the feelings of those around you, as people long remember how they felt in your presence, but your exact words are often forgotten. Time is truly the coin of the realm, and like the language of math, the truth about time knows no geopolitical boundaries. Genuine humility is a virtue, and attracts goodness in others.
