Episode 71: The purpose and power of introductions

The purpose and power of introductions - episode 71

“Make the world a bit more human in the process.” After last week I have thought a lot about starting conversations and that led me to explore the power of introductions. Introductions are helpful both in writing and when meeting someone new and I share how they both can relate. I also share how being willing to take the time to make introductions can really help everyone feel a little more at ease and comfortable, something I realized I needed to work on in my Gospel Doctrine class. So this episode is really more of a help for me seeing the purpose of an introduction and then a few things to think about whether you are introducing yourself or two friends.

Show Notes: Hi Friends! I hope you enjoyed listening to this episode. Below are all the references.

Quote: Friends are just strangers we haven't met yet and the poem I read today:

Faith by Edward Guest in published in 1915 : (found on https://quoteinvestigator.com/2017/08/09/stranger/)

I believe in the world and its bigness and splendor,

That most of the hearts beating round us are tender;

That days are but footsteps and years are but miles

That lead us to beauty and singing and smiles;

That roses that blossom and toilers that plod

Are filled with the glorious spirit of God.

I believe in the purpose of everything living,

That taking is but the forerunner of giving;

That strangers are friends that we some day may meet,

And not all the bitter can equal the sweet;

That creeds are but colors, and no man has said

That God loves the yellow rose more than the red.
