Because Tyra told me so
Confession: Yesterday, I got sucked into an America’s Next
Top Model marathon.
(the season where they shoot as bats in a tub of fake blood, and also end up in New Zealand posing with sheep.)
Anyways, there’s one girl who always has an excuse/blames others
when she gets critiqued. It’s easy to dislike her, even though
we’ve all been in that mode before, right? (I’ve been there more
times than I wish to count.)
During Ansley’s (sp)excuse #271, Miss
Lady Tyra cut her off and said “You need to listen better.”
I find that quote echoing in my thoughts today, so I thought I’d doodle it and commit to it. In 2011, I’m going to listen better: Be more
mindful. Leave conversations with friends/office mates and pause to
‘log’ what we chatted about, so I can pick up again where we left
off with a bit more ease. Try to dispense less advice or opinions
unless said friend/mate specifically asks for it. Impress my ma by
being able to have actually completed those wise things moms are
hard-wired to espouse.
If you’re reading this and run into me
offline, please judge me. Call me out if i seem like I’m not fully
honoring my Tyra-test. Because I love and respect you and I want
(and need!) to do a better job of showing that. much love, kp
