I hope you've had a brilliant and interesting week. Mine has certainly been interesting and started with a visit to the zoo with my children. Although Carol my PA, thought I said I was visiting the loo when I asked her to put it in my diary. It was a freezing cold day and when we got there the only hat available for me was a Tigger one. I thought it would be fun to wear, but the funniest bit was noticing the very typical British reaction. My sister and I spent the day observing everyone's reaction to my hat. Most people tried to pretend that they hadn't seen it and then when they'd walked past us you'd hear them say, "Did you see her hat?". One mother even told her children off for staring. Nobody would look directly at my hat and laugh. I found it hilarious.

We also went to see the film 'Freaky Friday', which was great fun and inspired this weeks' article.

I appreciate that some of you are experiencing problems in receiving and reading my newsletter. I am looking into alternatives and hope to find the right solution soon. Please bear with me :o)


Be fun

We have this opportunity in our lives every day and yet how many of us take up the opportunity. We don't need to be quite as extreme as exchanging bodies, but we can step into other peoples' shoes, metaphorically speaking.

Stepping into other people's shoes enables great communication to take place, even under difficult circumstances. Many of the problems we experience on a daily basis are due to either a lack of, or poor communication. One of the best ways to improve communication and break down any barriers is to understand other people.

Once we truly consider things from others perspectives and understand what inspires them, their beliefs and fears etc, interpersonal relationships improve dramatically. These relationships include:
