Dessert

At the end of Dinner

Life goes on, it’s not time for bed!

…but it’s time for dessert.

But you came here, because it’s time for desert.

I was in the grocery store, and Marritesse, saw me and came over and talk to me, then I saw Terry, and said hello, I’m not too far from him was another young lady, who didn’t have a name tag, she said that she lost it, and then didn’t offer her name. I didn’t flinch though.

When I asked her what her name was, she was the cashier who looks after all of the soft checkouts, by the way, and when I asked her her name, she said Alexis, so of course I immediately said well that’s the perfect name because all you have to say is “Alexis”

Her face wasn’t blank, but it didn’t light up like oh I’ve never heard that before… So I realized something.

I sent her. I have a feeling that you’ve heard this before, she nodded her head yes. I describe her to you, but the fact is she’s 25 years old with the bright smile and bright eyes, very little fear in them whatsoever, but the curiosity of a courageous young soul.

As we talked about what people do with names, she said that’s why I don’t wear a name tag. Management doesn’t like it, but I don’t like it when people come up to me and say, Alexis, ha, ha, ha I bet you hate that name, and she thinks well actually, I don’t hate my name at all. Thanks for bringing that up.

Well, we’ve been on talking as I often do we parted company, and I went home with the ingredients for my chilli that I was making, stirred most of them into the pot and then realized! I went back and gave her a sunshine card, and on the back I wrote candidates for a name card

• Paige
• Sirri
• ________

I told her about the Venn diagram that Steven Covey talked about and that that’s that all of us have emissions and Value statement, and whether we like to know it or not we do, and so also does our Corporation so we need to see where we have an intersection of sets, that’s the vent diagram.

I told her that my mission statement is very simple, I want to be a safe place to be! She sent me too!

She loved the whole idea of the card the sunshine card that it’s blank that I’ve written it on the back I guess. Her other colleague was standing beside her who had her name tag on and she had the same name Alexis, but she doesn’t mind.

So we had a little bit more. She actually made a note of towards a psychology being, Abraham Maslow.

I left, and I realized her and I have a sort of something in common with one another. I give out cards that don’t have my name on, and part of the reason is because people stop seeing me, and become afraid of me whenever I gave them a card with my name number and email address on it. So I realize that wasn’t the point and I started handing out these cards. They’re very unique. I designed them myself. I have them printed by a local printer.

So I’ve just come up with another subtly nuance about my sunshine cards.

So much for dessert.
