Sometimes shy just means you enjoy your solitude, sitting back and people-watching, learning and listening.

Meeting new people everyday, and becoming familiar with local business owners and workers forced me out of my shell. :)<br /><br />I have to say, I'm a lover of book covers, and Claiming Mariah is GORGEOUS! I read the description on Amazon, and I'm intrigued. Mariah and Slade have a hard road ahead. :)<br /><br />Please enter me in the giveaway.

If I can get my mind off of me, and walk around as an ambassador of goodwill, then it's much easier to start conversations.<br /><br />Oh, this is kinda funny...last year at the ACFW conference, I was doing my usual rescuing before the banquet and sorta roped in 2 people standing there looking lonely. I got the ball rolling with what they both wrote, where they were from, their scars and tattoos (okay, not THAT!) and then left chatting with each other while I went on my merry way. I hope they become lifelong friends!Pam Hillmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604636348596615139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-125367606156990763.post-24583836775371186812013-03-11T16:44:31.924-07:002013-03-11T16:44:31.924-07:00Norma, it was a blessing that I didn't even kn...Norma, it was a blessing that I didn't even know I needed.

But, a good host/hostess should make sure to include everyone in some or all of the conversations.<br /><br />As a matter of fact, I'll go so far as to say that when giving a party, the host/hostess should enlist at least one outgoing friend/relative for every 6-8 guests that invite. Said friends job should be to mingle and make sure there are no wallflowers feeling left out. <br /><br />Some of my most enjoyable conversations have been where I stopped, dropped my own agenda, and just listened.Pam Hillmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604636348596615139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-125367606156990763.post-3817921040093727402013-03-11T16:35:25.463-07:002013-03-11T16:35:25.463-07:00Thank you, Marissa.
