“I chose these flowers for you,” my new friend told me at dinner last night. “I had them make it up specially. I thought about your personality, and wanted to pick the colours you’d like. The yellow iris. The roses.”
Paulette is a gardener, and thoughtful and Canadian. Even though I’ve only known her a little while, she’s the kind of person you’d call if you found a lump or needed an emergency dog sitter or wanted to float a business idea and get good advice. She’s sensible. Calm. Savvy.
And she’s this: she’s good at making people feel loved.
It’s a skill, like baking or riding horses or gardening.
Of all the things I am and do, I hope I’m like that, too. It matters to me that I make people feel loved and seen. When you read my new book, you’ll find so many 10 Minute Fixes about loving people well.
How To Be ‘the one’ For Someone (Chapter 49)
Let’s Talk About Kids (Chapter 79)
The Best Relationship Advice (Chapter 10)
