Proof is in the Putting

A new spin on this classic phrase "it’s in the pudding"- because what we put out into the world is what we will receive.

 

Since the launch of my 365 days to find love adventure- I have written many blogs about how I go out into the world each day, open to meeting new people. When I want to be social I am. It’s as simple as stepping out, having the right attitude and going where the people are.

 

 

Last week in Miami I subconsciously found myself testing the validity of my belief.

 

During this self-imposed solitary confinement, every time I ventured out I did exactly the opposite of my norm. Yes, I dressed- primped and primed myself same as always, but my body language and expression was different.

 

I hardly made eye contact with people, walked with a more purposed gate and always positioned myself on the outside of the social circle of any public space- arms crossed as if saying "I dare you!"

 

It worked! I met no one!

 

Well almost....

 

My soul interaction was with people working in the various stores, restaurants, gyms and spa areas that I frequented. Connecting was easy and automatic. It was me being me- putting it out there, welcoming the interaction and removing the do not disturb expression. In some cases I realized if I didn’t- I could starve! (Lol)

 

 

My natural instinct for appreciating human contact took over in these situations and I became instant friends with those individuals. I loved hearing all their stories- where they were from, family history and passions in life.  

 

My immediate change in attitude and body language was as if I hung a sign

 

 

and that they were!!

 

A big thank you to all the wonderful people I met at One Bal Harbour and The St Regis Hotel and for making my solo vacation so enjoyable.

 

See you all soon... IT’S A DATE!
