I Have That Face

Hey all ☼☼☼

Ok... So...I have this crazy notion that I have this look on my face that says "Talk to me!" and that's great truly... I think it is important to connect to people outside the digital world right?

Many of us are so tied into our own worlds that we fail to disconnect the cells, emails and blackberries and connect with ordinary people...so I want to share with you 3 funny scenarios of my theory and invite you to come talk to me!

♥1) I was heading back from this weekend retreat and was quietly reading my notes on an express train back to NY when this lovely Jewish lady started to ask me a series of questions that quickly felt like I was playing Jeopardy, but I welcomed it. She asked if I was married and I said after a bad break up, I preferred to be alone and she looked at me like I was insane LOL "why would you do that?" she exclaimed and I began to tell her a logical reason but then decided to listen because I was sure she had jewels to give me. The old woman said "You see that man sleeping over there?" and I said "Yes" and she continued to say "That's my husband and he is rich!" so I laughed and she said "Never let a man break your heart, I learned that a long time ago." and I asked her how can I do that and she said "The key is to never marry for love marry for money and then your heart will always be safe!"

Now some will agree and some won't but that woman was hilarious! And well dressed for that matter! And I doubt if she goes around telling everyone that tale!

♥♥2)I was at a networking event and everyone was meeting and greeting talking about goals and dreams, family and kids when I noticed one of the guest speakers seemed a bit distant and me being ME decided to approach her and ask if everything was cool... She said with a sly remark "Yeah but these things just bore me, all this blah blah blah stuff about careers drives me nuts!" so I just answered back "Yeah I know what you mean (but not really lol) then she asked if I was leaving anytime soon and I said yes and agreed to walk out with her once I said my goodbyes... We got into the elevator and she began to talk about the event and why she was objecting to everything while sitting on the panel and I was in tears

(Did I mention this woman is a big shot at a large media company?)

She had no clue who I was and didn't care she then gave me her card and said call me when you wanna do some real networking!

♥♥♥3) The very last event I was at I sat next to this wonderful lady who introduced herself by one name only and mentioned this was her first event with the organization. So I began to give her the org's pitch to inform her about us... Now throughout the event the lady went back and forth between the panel and the brochure and was making little comments... Some regarding the size of one's waist and the bad photo-shopped picture on the flyer and all I could do was smile because I didn't want to talk about the guests.
She began to tap me and say "Wow she is terrible!" and I laughed... She had no clue who I was to the org and I didn't mention...She asked me some weird questions and as I started to answer I noticed she was writing it down so I proceeded to ask this lady what network she was with and she responded "I am a reporter" So needless to say I shut my mouth LOL
So the fact that she felt like I was the main source was cool! LOL
