I usually don’t involve myself into politics, partly because I am busy running my life.
However, I see how many of you are upset. So I need to say this: Looking out from my office window and seeing the beautiful Lake Ontario (which means shining water), I think and smile. This lake will be Lake Ontario for a long time, while He will soon just be a footnote somewhere.

What people are saying on Know Your Own Values
Beyond the sadness, there is a mental and emotional calm that comes after making such a difficult decision as breaking with someone – or organization – when values no longer align with yours.
— Marilyn Field
Thank you for this important reminder; it’s easy to forget my own values, especially working in the real estate industry. The combination of a slow market + a terrible economy has contributed to a lot of pressure to just get deals done, sometimes at the expense of slowing down and doing right by clients the way I know I should. Your newsletter was a good nudge to recommit to that, even when it’s tempting to cut corners for the sake of a sale.
Thanks again for keeping this front of mind for all of us. I thoroughly enjoy reading each and every one of your newsletters!
— Geneviève Caya
Just wanted to thank you for your etiquette newsletters. There’s always an interesting idea that you raise in each one – and in the comments of others that you share.
— Janice
It’s always nice to get your Newsletter.
— Julcsi
Keep up the good work

Köszönöm megint a küldeményedet és külön öröm, hogy ilyen lelkes vagy már sok-sok éve. Sajnos az illem terén is sok változás van, de el kell fogadjuk, mert ez a világ sora nincs mit tenni!
