Hi there everyone!

Just a friendly reminder that the second set of "assigned readings" will be coming to you tomorrow, so now is your chance to finish up that first set!

I would love to hear from you all about how the process is going so far. Any surprises? Any thoughts you would like to share with the group? It is wonderful to see so much commenting activity on the site! I hope you've been enjoying this work, and that you're making some engaging connections with women around the world.

I look forward to seeing your comments below.

Until tomorrow, take good care!
Scott

So glad to be Listening. I do notice a big difference in 'engagement' with the Contributors, as compared with the Mentor/Correspondent relationship where there's so much give and take exchange. That is, most women I have Listened to/commented on don't respond, which is not necessarily a negative thing . . . just different.

From what you told us from the start, I did not expect online conversations with these Contributors, but it will be a wonderful bonus if it happens.

Anyone getting responses from your comments?

HI Scott!
It's nice to be all ears LOL I posted my comments, but as Sarah said, haven't heard back from the women. I suppose many of them are really shy to engage in a more in-depth exchange? Anyways, looking forward to the next set of readings.
Ciao!

Hello Scott,

I am done with my comments. Two of the women asked to friend me but I did not receive any comments from all of them.

Hi everyone,

World Pulse has been a wonderful experience for me. I learned a lot about different issues that women are facing, and all through Listening. I have expanded more and precious connections, which took me to a new experience, and was very inspired by the amazing sense of integrity that every member shares. I was assigned to be listening to 3 different stories, on 3 different topics and on 3 different regions. That diversity of assignments made me learn a lot and stay more concerned about women on the other parts of the world too. I like that diversity because it makes me feel I have a sense of global sympathy.

Thank you World Pulse Community and I am looking forward to our new assignments.

Best for all,

Ali Shahidy

I have a comment, dear Scott.

I am surprised to have the most senior citizen in my listening list. She
seems
very troubled, but I think she needs to express herself more. So I would
like
to suggest that everyone reads her, so that she feels ok.

Just a suggestion..

Thanks for listening to me!

Hugs,

Jackie

Hi Jackie,
I think that it is so wonderful that you're trying to make sure this woman feels supported. Would you mind including a link to her article for people to comment on?

Thanks!

Sorry, I forgot to put the link.

This is the link. Her name is Mohini and I saw that she wrote a lot more. Perhaps just giving her advice on how to come up with shorter messages will do.

Thanks everyone.
