Having spent a few days with a super-performer with a terrific personality and a warmth that rivals the month of July, I would like to introduce the new new math for all those who wish to be “the one.”
Competence + Humor + Warmth + Impeccable Manners + Sending a Fabulous Email + Writing a Hand-Written Note + Treating Everyone with Respect + Telling Me Where You Bought That Bag + A Strong Handshake + Initiating a Hello + Returning A Book That You Borrowed + Splitting The Check + Saying Good Morning Even If You Don’t Know the Person + Acknowledging When Someone Goes Out of The Way For You + Under-Promising and Over-Delivering + No Whining + Giving Compliments + Accepting a Compliment With Grace + Showing Up When You Know Someone Needs Support + Living a Life Well-Lived and That Includes Stop Talking About Your Diet = Straight Up Fabulous With a Twist of Fresh Air.
Ok, we need a poster of this.
Treasured Chairman of my Board of Directors, what would I do without your pompoms? Adoringly, E.
To think I always hated Math!
What I like is the details you go into.
The handwritten note, it’s almost becoming nastily exotic.
El, you’re looking WOW.
Ever Yours,
Sreemanti
PS – I have dropped you a message on Facebook. Do check. Thanks
Dear Ideator: I will look for your note as I’m always happy to hear from you, devoted reader and ace champion. I adore handwritten notes…most of my mail is JUNK. Now a letter or a postcard…whole different enchilada. Your adoring fan, E.
A truer creed for our times has never been written ! I aspire to live by these equations and hope that I will always ” add up ” to the person I think I am ! Well said Ms Fabo, well said !
Dear Charlene: I have no doubt that you will live by these equations. Your note indicates a person of great warmth and generosity. ^5. Regards, E.
love.
Love You.
Thanks so much!! I consider reading your Mathematical written piece a true blessing before I start back teaching in my Elementary School building in 2 weeks!!
You make pure sense of joyful living!!!
Thanks again!!
Dear Amy: Humbled and delighted that my math touched you! Thank you for the lovely note. Best regards, E.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Perhaps we can find a way to thank everyone in our lives…in the midst of a zen retreat on this end…they gave a lecture on subtraction interestingly enough – e.g. subtracting what we don’t need. And so, ELS and her aplomb addressed the other end of math. Staying tuned to both frequencies or least making an effort.
Dear Jennifer: Subtract naysayers, underminers, and people who relish when you take a plop. Add those people who want to make you feel good about yourself. Simple math. Thanks as always for writing and egging me on. Fondly, E.
You are a true beauty. My shell is cracking open, I am moulting and soaring at the same time and you have been an still are my cyber angel sent from the sacred circle of internet goddesses! A bit choked up here, and heading back for the teisho…we are all the buddha.
Woo! That is one fabulous sister.
Sister, stick with me. 4-ever, E.
I hope we all get to meet in person some day.
Dear Jennifer: I am so touched that my thoughts and words are giving you what you need. Crack that shell…you have much to give. Our paths are already crossing. Always with affection, E.
You are one in a million. Carry on, brave warrior!
You have changed my life. Forever. And ever. Your Samurai Warrior. Love, E.
Dear Ellen
I just read your book. I love it! Love you! I need your message like you wouldn’t believe. I am almost at my fifth decade on this planet and there has been and still is a long long process of transformation, from very dark beginnings. Finding you is part of that process and I feel a great leap forward is about to take place. Thank you so much for reaching out with your ideas and energy – with your very beautiful, authentic self.
Dear Debbie: Wow! A letter like yours sends me reeling with delight. I am humbled and truly touched that I was able to give you something. There’s nothing I love better than to see people happy in their skin. My energy comes from a deep well and I promise to keep it filled to the top. Most admiringly, E.
