I met Maxine Shapiro at a networking event. She’s a professional speaker like me, a newbie to Los Angeles and quite an adorable person. The usual next step in the world of networking might be to meet somewhere generic for coffee.
But two words kept coming into my mind about Maxine: Valentine’s Day. Although I already had plans to have dinner with my friend, Clyde, who was coming into town, I had a feeling that I was supposed to invite Maxine along. It was intuition, and as it turns out, she was happy to be included.
Who knows why I had this gut feeling. Maybe Maxine and I will do business together. Maybe we’ll be close friends. Or maybe she’ll get a kick out of Clyde. One thing’s for sure, life’s more interesting when I stick my neck out, am willing to look silly and make unconventional invitations.
And so I dedicate this Valentine’s Day to Intuition. To paying attention to those illogical gut feelings, acting on them and enjoying the result.
Join me in celebrating a love for the mystery of life.
