Stephen Hopsons last blog post..Stephen Hopson Interview with Lorelle on WordPress, Part IV of IV

Hmmm…interesting….we are all farmers when you think of it that way. What a unique perspective on this!

I would say that we are something along the lines of a farmer but only if we consciously choose to plant a seed. Deliberately planting a seed like a framer does is what makes us farmers. If consciously cultivate the garden of our minds, plant appropriate seeds and then nurture them - all on purpose - then we are farmers of the mind.

There, how about that - “farmers of the mind.” Or maybe it’d be more accurate to say “farmers of the spirit”?

And Lorelle, thanks for the powerful compliment about my interviewing style. It’s kind of interesting because it’s not like we’re interviewing face to face yet you are indicating that my text interview with you was just as powerful, if not more so, then a face to face duo. Thanks! I’m thrilled to know I’ve made this interview easy for you. I guess you were picking up my energy, which is why things happened the way they did. If so, that’s way cool.

You’ve both given me food for thought about taking my interviewing experiences to another level. Not quite sure how or what, but the seed has been planted - thanks!

I don’t think opening up and accepting any and all into your circle is a bad thing. It’s a good thing. I guess I struggle most with fitting that into my personality type. Granted, that personality has changed and can change to fit circumstances as needed, but I wonder if that is my true need or calling. Am I, or should I be, the person that sticks out in a crowd? That has contacts and friends all over the globe?

You’re obviously one of those people, and I like that, because it makes my contrasting personality and life exciting. We’re all part of the mix. I guess I would like to think that if we were all accessible or “real” in the same way, then we would somehow implode the universe. OK, so not the universe, but at least the blogosphere, or local McDonalds, or something.

You bring up an important point, Ryan. People want to care but they really don’t. Especially Americans. If you have to care and share, then I’ll have to compete or let you into my life - and my life is plenty full already. These are not true statements as your life can never be “too full” but we’ve let the self-help books teach us how to say no actually stop us before we ever get started.

To do this right, you do have to let your guard down and be open to the experience. I’d love to see Stephen write more on that aspect of his work because he’s really good at it.

And thanks all for the kind words. This was a bit scary, but Stephen made it really safe for me to expose more than I probably should.

Lorelle is pretty accessible. Almost too accessible. Maybe I’m a people-phobe (for lack of the real term), but it’s almost like, “hey, if you tell me too much about yourself, I’ll have to care, and that’s scary.” She has a nice site though, and lots of information to consume.

It’s great when people like Lorelle make themselves accessible. It makes interacting with them fun and educational.

Clearly, I’m enjoying the interview series. It’s a win-win situation for everyone.

Thanks for stopping by and letting her and I know how you benefited from her words of advice when you were just getting started. Glad you enjoyed our interview. We have one more part next week. Hope you’ll be back to see the grande finale.
