Meeting new people? Be yourself

“If you weren’t you, then we’d all be a little less we.” – Piglet, Winnie the Pooh

Let go

Ever feel like you’re not as smart, interesting, or as funny as others? Those feelings can be especially strong when you’re new and putting so much energy into making friends.

Start over

Whether you’re new in town or well established in your community, be yourself and bring ALL of yourself to your relationships.

Move forward

You are special! Your presence makes a difference! While you’re being YOU, engage people you meet by asking them questions about themselves. Be curious. People feel special and appreciated if you take an interest in them.

Three steps to move forward with your life is based on encouragement from Susan Miller’s bestselling book, After the Boxes Are Unpacked. The book guides uprooted women through the process of letting go, starting over with trust, and moving forward in faith.
