I chose my words carefully when I met a beautiful young woman wearing the horrors of cancer for all to see. I walked up to her, thanks to you Trece, and said "You look great, absolutely beautiful........it is great to see you". After an lengthy exchange, I did all the listening, she told me that this was the first time she felt good since the diagnosis. Your sharing/gentle words are healing the world, one person at a time.

When people don't know what to say, they manage to say some crazy things, don't they? I wonder if they "kick" themselves afterwards? The GOOD kind? I didn't realize there was a "good" kind. Where did you get your "good" kind? May people with the bad kind trade up? How did that land for you? What did you do? Would you also share some comments that were helpful and comforting. Teach us! THANK YOU SO much for being part of the Flip Kick Listen community. Your contribution is healing. Love, Trece Oh Michelle…
