March 24, 2009Success Story ~ My puppies found the ball

Filed under: Success Story by merylrunion |

Last night I read your Puppy Lessons story to my ministerial class. It worked so well. Thank you so much. They really got the message – and clarity about the difference between the message and the messenger. Plus, when they get confused in the future, I can just ask them if they know where The Ball is. They observed that if I throw The Ball into a swamp, they won’t be afraid to tell me to throw a little better. This parable opened up a wonderful, playful form of communication we can use to work around difficulties that arise.

Fabuloso. Brava. Brava. Please put your stories in a book and call it Meryl’s Parables

Note: You can read my latest of Meryl’s Shareable Parables here.
