There's a place I frequent (far too often) that is lovely inside. As warm as the interior was; the shop owner wasn't. When I meet someone that I perceive unfriendly or even hostile OR I find hard to like, my mindset immediately goes to: "I am going to conquer them."
We've all heard the saying "kill them with kindness." It works! Perhaps I just wore her down with my chipper demeanor; but I'd say the shop owner and I are now on friendly terms.
Tomorrow, fifteen (15) youngsters from 8 to 12 years old, are attending a Manners Boot Camp. A goal is to teach them that kindness is much more valuable than knowing what fork to use.
I'll let you know how we do.

Can't wait to hear how it goes with this age group. I will get Leah in one of these for sure.
