Can We Talk 4 A Minute...

This past Saturday, after much planning, brainstorming and hard work, Bert and I saw our brainchild birthed and what an awesome experience it was! But first some background...Over the past eleven years that Bert and I have known each other, we have always talked about doing something in partnership, but for whatever reasons it never happened. Well we decided one day not long ago to make another go at doing one of those "somethings" we've always wanted to do. Thus Can We Talk 4 A Minute. A forum where participants were asked a series of questions around five topics Bert and I chose: Secrets, Taboos, Myths, Emotions and of course Sex:) The honesty, candor and passion was exciting!

What transpired in that small room of about twenty people, most of whom were strangers to one another, was nothing short of a miracle. I was overwhelmingly surprised at how willing we were to be honest and open out our opinions, but yet at the same time respectful of others if they didn't feel the same way we did at least the majority of us were). It was a reminder for me that dialogue can indeed solve things; if only for the person individually, which is where change starts anyway.

Look out for Can We Talk 4 A Minute - Part 2. It might be coming to a town near you!
Take care of yourself and one another,
Peace and Blessings,
M
