Conversations Matter
Dale Carnegie did an experiment. In a group of people, he did nothing but listen and ask questions. They thought he was a great conversationalist.
"Remember everything you do sends a message. Determine the message you want to send to the world." Dale Carnegie
Curiosity is a great way to connect with other people. The book I'm reading now, Angels n' Me by Ron Estrada has an illustration —a tree. The trunk is what you see first. Like people, the outward is what you see. But do you look up and see the upper branches?
Take time to see beyond the exterior of a person.

Great Drops of Blood Explained
Known as Hematidrosis, this condition makes the skin very sensitive, easily bruised. The bloody sweat would irritate the nerve endings in the skin, causing hypersensitivity. It would be compared to a bad case of sunburn.
Hematidrosis affects the body's temperature. The blood vessels in the skin help to provide heat to the skin when cooled, the person suffering with this condition would be less capable of maintaining his body temperature in cooler degrees.
Hematidrosis causes blood vessels to burst into the neighboring tissues.
Hematidrosis disturbs the integrity of the skin layer, becoming more fragile. -tearing more easily.
In effect, one experiencing hematidrosis will be highly sensitive to pain. His body would be damaged greater in abuse.

BIO
Tamie Dearen lives with her very romantic husband of thirty-three years. She has two beautiful daughters, two amazing son-in-laws, and one awesome grandson. She plays piano, flute, harmonica, keyboards, and guitar, and loves composing and art. And she hates housework. She has been a dentist in private practice for thirty years. She stays busy playing on her church's praise team and leading a weekly Bible study. In her spare time, she writes books.
Tamie specializes in writing “clean’ books without excessive violence, offensive language, or explicit sex. She has published a Romantic Comedy series called The Best Girls, which includes a free novella and four full-length novels, and recently published her first Christian Romance, Noelle’s Golden Christmas. She has also published the two books in a Young Adult Fantasy series, Alora: The Wander-Jewel, and Alora: The Portal. To combine her love of music with her writing, Tamie composed the background music for the Alora Series video trailer and a Christmas song, which is linked in the back of Noelle’s Golden Christmas. Her latest book, A Rose in Bloom, a romantic comedy serial story, is available for pre-order and will be released March 13.
Tamie met her husband as a freshman in college when she acted out of character on a whim. One night in the library lobby, she spied a cute guy with his first name written on the back of his shirt. She called out his name. When he approached to talk to her, she pretended that she'd met him before, asking about his classes and how he liked college. To her surprise and delight, he also pretended that he knew her, but of course he didn't know her name. They continued this false relationship for two months. Each time they saw each other, an event that occurred three times per week at the cafeteria, he would pretend he knew her. Meanwhile, all of Tamie's friends were careful not to reveal her name to him. When he finally admitted his ignorance of her name, he was astonished to learn the truth. And the rest is history.
