The Art of Conversation
Wednesday is Business Series
Post 8
This is the new stand alone subject for Pure d’esprit blog, although it threads through every single post in which we met thus far, like dew drops on flower petals in summer mornings. Master this subject and watch the quality of every relationship in your life (old and new) elevate to a whole another level. Allow the love inside you to guide you – irrelevant who is on the other side, in as much as you are being true to who you are, always.
Don’t you think that this deserves a more complete view point, seeing that the communication is our entry way into truly allowing another person to be understood and possibly feel valued as a result? I am not even going to entertain the thought that we should be heard first, for the fine art of love and life grant us the capacity to hold the space for someone else, with grace and respect.
Communication equals all of these together: listening – truly hearing from the centre of your being, not merely with your ears, but giving your full attention; and never pushing, but allowing the space, the silent pauses, hearing the unsaid words, seeing the unspoken in person’s eyes, and hearing the tone of their voice; understanding and appreciating the energy that is interacting with you, and at the same time listening to and letting your intuition guide you; and - if there is a meeting of souls on this level, then being willing to be seen, to be real, to show the other person everything that’s on your heart, letting them know that you truly honour and hold this space between your souls as sacred.
This is more powerful than any strategy I ever read or heard. With all due respect, brain indeed may be wired the certain way (though there are always exceptions, I assure you), but people communicate from the place of alignment (or misalignment) between their mind and that which we know as soul – and not just with their mind alone, no matter what they think. It’s worth bringing your awareness to this. Because, if nothing else, it will help you to keep your receiver tuned in to your own frequency and navigate towards people who are unquestionably also on their own path to greatness (i.e. settling for nothing else but the best version of self available at that moment).
Apply this in life and in business, my friend. Never separate the two, and hold all the values and high standards you set for life – in every aspect of it. I see everyone in life as an artist (or I just naturally gravitate to the most creative human beings you can imagine), and I am so grateful for that, and for you, my friend, for generously allowing these words into your heart and knowing that they come from the deepest place inside my heart.
If we approach any conversation with this clarity, and our own truth – although not every one will be the perfect match for us – but we will know this and act accordingly. I wish you the best communications from now on, and far less words. Mine included. (I promise to give you only the relevant for you.)

It’s only the second day of my home challenge, but the needle has moved already. I am sure you remember the talk of mindset yesterday, on day 1 – so, I just want to reiterate that the ‘thinking’ phase is equally important, if not more so – than the ‘doing’ phase. Oh, I am aware this is probably against popular belief (but you can draw your own conclusions how much I notice popular beliefs, because in our life only one belief matters and that is how much we believe our soul and the absolute resolve to follow its guidance) – I know that the doing part can go wonky and it can take far longer to correct the course, than to dedicate time for proper consideration and, once you are clear, then accelerate to execute on that plan. I find the doing part is quicker when you know where you are going. At least you move in the desired direction. It’s perfectly OK if you don’t have the entire plan in sight just yet. You remember we talked about flexibility, this is so important, as it is our nature to change, expand, fine tune, crystallise and modify to suit our present thinking and our needs.
That said, I am so grateful to have the most supportive and clever family. They help me examine my ideas, and elaborate on them, not to mention jump straight to full support, no doubts, no questions, just discussing my ideas. My brother especially hears it all, and he is so helpful when it comes to putting together ideas and practical steps to get there. I promise, the work will be my own, but I find that clarity comes from sharing, from saying it out loud – to someone who is on the same wavelength.
Do you remember me mentioning those 4 walk in cupboards (yes, with doors, as in room doors) in one bedroom property? Well, two of them will give way to the living room extension, which will then (most likely) join with the kitchen, to make an open plan living area. When I do the drawings, I will share them with you, but it seems both exciting and quite possible to undertake.

Feeling on top of the world. This section of the challenge serves to check in with the feeling each day, and make necessary adjustments in order to fully reside in the present moment, so that the mind doesn’t jump to those beloved ‘how’ questions. One step at the time, one breath, one day. Great!

Tomorrow I am starting to plan the podcast update, because of that important announcement coming at the end of the week. Keep an eye out for that, my friend. And possibly measuring and starting to draw those plans.
Remember – You Are Safe Here
This is the sacred place between our souls. Thank you for sharing your visions, dreams and ideas. Your courage to be vulnerably seen will always be respected, and you will be treated with nothing but kindness and compassion. ♡
