I had another great meeting with Sandy this afternoon. Neither of us were very surprised with my observations over the last week. Turns out that I don't show gratitude and I am not apologetic. My assignment this week is to practice saying the following things, even if it's fake:
I trust you
I'm sorry
I'm proud of you
I believe in you
I understand why you're frustrated
Please forgive me
I need you

This will be tough because I am away from my family for a week, but it might be easier for me to practice over the phone. I expect it to be awkward at first, just because it is new. I can't wait to try this out on Ric and the kids.

Next week I am in San Diego for business. I've been trying to figure out what I am going to wear all 6 days, and I have beauty concerns as well. When was the last time I had my brows waxed and just how chipped is my nail polish? Oh my. I have an appointment with Stephanie at Gadabout this weekend to have my brows done, and I will attempt to do my nails myself. I just had my manicure last week, so I just need fresh polish. My feet still look and feel great, even my red polish. It is hard keeping up with everything, but looking great feels so good.
