This is one of those fitful nights in which sleep won’t come
for Ladyjustice. So much is happening in
her world right now, (in A Good way) that her mind is like chocolate
marshmallow swirl!!
A recent Facebook post is weighing on her mind… “Am I
Pretty” concerning prepubescent girls worrying so about their looks that they
feel compelled to solicit strangers comments over the internet! The sad truth is… they were all very cute! Such
a pity that they have such low self-esteem at such a young age and that their
value systems are all screwed up!
This topic relates to the true value of life and friendship,
LOOKS ASIDE. Several weeks ago, this writer wrote with enthusiasm about
the prospect of meeting her REAL PEOPLE for the very first time after months
and months of hard, intense and fun…
work…. Not having the opportunity to
meet through geographic distance and not having any idea what a couple of these
people look like. … NOT THAT IT MATTERS…
and that’s exactly the point!
When you have mutual goals, when you are thrown together for
a purpose and its sink or swim tied to your efforts, you develop trust and
appreciate the other person. It matters
not in the least what they look like. In
fact, you laugh at your flaws and theirs may become endearments. You know the person by e-mail, text, or
phone, but you don’t get that body language, their mannerisms which often give
you information about which the person truly is….
Ladyjustice can think of three scenarios in which she has
encountered this phenomenon. And so far, it has worked out great! It’s pure, it’s real, and IT’S NOT BASED ON
LOOKS!
The cleaning lady from Poland…. LJ has had the same once a
month cleaning lady for 12 years. They
met once in person…maybe twice at most… but that’s it… LJ has given her Christmas bonuses,
occasional little souvenirs from a trip…
They have spoken on the phone.
However, if Ladyjustice had to pick her out of a “Law & Order“ line-up
– forget it! The point is, it works…and it has nothing to
do with her looks – no judgments!
The second situation occurs when, in the course of your
work, you may communicate with a colleague in another state or country as part
of your job. You discuss the weather,
the work, maybe your family or a mutual hobby.
But, you probably don’t know what they look like. Corporations are
vastly cutting back on travel in favor of webinars and conference calls versus
in-person meetings. [LJ has not as yet ventured into the world of Skype]. You have a phone friendship as it were…
The third scenario… and the one that is so unusual in LJ’s
mind.. that it has worked so well for so long…. Is when she finally meets that
trusted Public Relations Manager and another mentor! These are the people who are helping to mold
the re-invention, that new career to “put her on the map”… that co-pilot who
knows just about all there is... and maybe too much…as that’s just the way this
writer is….. Ladyjustice is very open and all out there for others to see,
regardless… This is probably typical in
media relations, but Ladyjustice didn’t realize she’d be inheriting a new
supportive family.
So…. I thank you from
the bottom and top of my heart for all of your hard work on my behalf…. ‘Can’t wait to meet ‘cha….
Looks aside, of course! It’s truly a shame all of those little girls
on YouTube can’t appreciate relationships without looking at LOOKS!
Here’s (Not) Lookin’ at cha!
