i'm listening...

sometimes all you need to do to make a difference in someone's life is to listen...

for get pushed this week @randystreat challenged me to create an image that conveys the theme of "making a difference"...

i really didn't know what to do with this one! however, this week (a) i was in a mental health first aid class for work and (b) i saw the ads for the reboot of Frasier... and so this idea popped into my head...

(probably should've removed the dog toy from the background 🤣)

@randystreat - this one really did make me think... thanks!

[Lesley]

I think this is a perfect choice

[JackieR]

Oh this is so clever and perfect for the challenge

[Suzanne]

Great response. The box of tissues is a great touch

[Delwyn Barnett]

A listening ear and a box of tissues. I love what you have done.

[Kathy]

Wonderful response to the challenge. Listening, something I admit I have gotten worse at, is so very important. (And I didn't see the toy dog even when I went back to look for it.)

Effective imagery. In practice working with people who are very distressed keep the tissues there, but never offer them. Offering them is suggesting that they stop crying and therefore stop opening up.
