When was the last time you took the time to call your best friend, your aunt, your employee, your husband and tell them how much you appreciate them? No I don’t mean a slipped in “I love you” at the end of a call after phoning them for something else. I mean JUST to tell them how important they are in your life, to thank them, and tell them how great you think they are? I bet most of you cannot remember the last time. Yuck. Well that’s no good!

I’m gonna ask you another question. How come women are generally terrible at receiving compliments and words of flattery? Why do we have such a hard time accepting being told that we’re loved and appreciated? We give and give, and still, when we’re complimented, we squirm, don’t know what to do with our bodies or what to answer.

Well guess what? Someone wanted me to see just what it feels like to be praised, flattered and appreciated. For my Montreal readers, you all know the Kim Fraser Show on CJAD from noon -2PM daily. I have been on her show in the past, and for whatever reason, she seems to like me. Well Kim had a guest on her show this past Friday, whose company is called Flatter Me. They  charge $5.00 a call, and flatter people around the world and make them feel loved and appreciated on behalf of someone else. How cool right? Well Kim Fraser wanted to do this gesture to me and see how I’d react.
