Hi everybody,
It's been quite a while since I have updated my blog...almost a year to the day! Sorry, there have been a lot of things going on in the past year so I really don't have an excuse. I've gone to Kauai Hawaii to learn advanced Lomi Lomi AND met extremely fantastic people in class. I've taken early retirement from American Airlines this past May so I can pursue my Massage Therapy practice. Now I'm back, updating my blog! I'll try to keep it going :)

My first blog is a short one about my "Tie Shoe" moments. I used this procedure when I was working at American Airlines, it started when I was a Tech Crew Chief. Usually when I got called out to an Airplane, it was well past departure and there were MANY people on the jetbridge that demanded to know what was going on? how long would it take? is the plane going out of service? To which I had no answers yet since I JUST WALKED THRU THE JETBRIDGE DOOR!
Bosses of different departments use to follow me back to my office while I looked up paperwork, looking over my shoulder and continue bombarding me with questions. After a couple of times of this, I realized they were pulling me into their chaotic world so I created my "Tie Shoe" moment.
I would walk onto the jetbridge with the usual chaotic ranting going on, everybody would turn and look at me and start yelling questions at me, so I would just bend down and...yep...Tie My Shoe! Immediately everybody would stop talking at look at me like...WHAT'S HE DOING? LOL, in that brief few seconds they were quiet, their energy would come back to earth and I would quietly find out what's going on and come up with a solution.
The gist of the story is when things are chaotic, bend down and tie your shoe to slow things down to a more normal speed and continue in what you were/are doing in a calm energy!
You don't have to tie your shoe, if people are frantic, just stand there, don't say a word, until they calm down. This works great also..and they do...calm down.
Thanks for reading everybody!
