Yesterday, Fathers’ Day, my sweetie and I were riding our bicycles back from the neighbouring town of Qualicum Beach. After a bit I was feeling a bit tired and fell slightly behind and stopped for a brief rest while still astride my bike. Every cyclist who passed by, 3, stopped and inquired if I required any type of assistance to which I happily responded: “No, thank you.” How’s that for being part of community of human cyclists? I don’t wish to exclude non human cyclists like those unicycle riding bears from the old style circuses I simply have no experience with them and hesitate to include them in the community I felt part of yesterday.

Oh also. in the morning I went for a short walk and a woman whom I do not know was weeding a tree bed in her front yard. As I passed by she looked up. smiled and said: “Happy Fathers’ Day”.

I sent a friend a copy of an important talk I’m giving this week in California. She shared some wonderful principles to follow to make it stronger. These allowed me to keep the core of the talk but enrich it. Reaching out for help brings great resources and insights.

When I was baby-sitting two sisters, 5 and 7, I saw a mediation skill in action when a quick tug-of-war started over a toy. The older sister had learned, in Grade 2, what to do. She dropped her end of the toy, took 2 steps back and said, “This is the time for the second step”. Her surprised sister dropped her end, and they both sat on the floor. The older one then said, “There are lots of felt pens so let’s each make a picture of Liz wearing her red boots.” In seconds they were both happy, with no more inharmony that session. May I say that these girls are not being “gently reared”, but are a little tough and self-assured.

I believe the First step is to see there is a problem. Second is to step back and call for a change. Third is to quickly announce another mutually good activity and start it without discussion. This can be taught to small kids, and adults should not offer suggestions, after it has been taught and practiced a little.

I stopped to talk with a student who I’ve shared a few comments with over the years as we passed by on the sidewalk. He said he was at a bit of crossroads in his career development. I told him that I had three things to share with him that would make a tremendous difference.
1. looking for WGWT moments in his day, and posting one each day on our site, or FB group.
2. engaging with others around their own WGWT moments, while making sure yoiu have your own ready to share when asked.

We talked about the opportunities that the WGWT style of conversation holds for someone looking to break out of a slump or to explore new possibilities.

I loved watching the light go on in his eyes.

..it’s also because of the WGWT things I have learned such as the song “It’s A Brand New Day” and learning how to set up a youtube account….

the kids in my class are true Canucks fans and were struggling a bit when we lost those 2 games in Boston

It’s A Brand New Game is all about starting fresh and moving on…..
maybe it made a difference??!!

Discipline and focus so that we achieve
We will win the cup ‘cuz we believe…..(they’re knocking on wood at the end so we don’t jinx the team…..!!)

you can see the lyrics underneath the video if you can’t hear them

One of my kids, was determined to teach me how to video the class with my new iphone and download the video to youtube
it is so much fun to be learning so much from him!! (he’s 10!!)
