Finally "had to MAKE the time" to read this today (7:45pm est/us) Glad I did that, yet I must admit that "I've grown to [force] myself to provide much time for other perspectives". I DID do that a lot more until finally becoming frustrating with the outcome as it related to me.
Some take-aways:
* "I am not who I think I am... [and] I am not who you think I am... Rather, I am who I believe you think I am"! Maybe read that again, and very slowly?
* Whether negotiating or discussing a topic heatedly... By "sitting on the same side of the table" you may typically see each others' view much easier! Rock ON! with your 'blog... I like it a lot~
Colored by a label placed on a person, we shape our images/expectations on what we perceive that vocation (and associated character traits) to be. Thanks for sharing this, Deb! <><
I think all of us know we can't see how other experience the world, but we don't see the richness of what we are missing. I have learned so much about stopping and listening for what really motivates someone.
Thanks for sharing this, Deb! I love the call to action to 'Engage with someone you struggle to understand' - to learn and discover new perspectives! I completely agree with your encouragement to make "a conscious effort to identify our blindspots and expose ourselves to alternate worldviews," "to widen our apertures" and more completely grasp the "larger picture." This is so important, and I am grateful to you for sharing your own experience so authentically. Thank you!

Great post! I’d like to hear more about how you built your relationship with your mother-in-law. I have had the same issue about expectations for the daughter in law... 🥴
I knew I was not what she expected, even though she went out of her way never to say anything overt. I found things we had in common and used it to help create connection. For example, she is an incredible chef. So I had her teach me to cook all of my husband's favorite foods. She painstakingly recreated every recipe he loved and wrote it down step by step (she only knew it from heart). I kept those handwritten notes and treasure them now that she is passed.
Find something you can do together and build on that. Love her for who she is. I appreciate that my mother-in-law did that for me.
That’s great you found common ground to build the relationship. And it’s so nice of you to cook your husband’s favorite foods. In loving your husband, you were loving your mother-in-law. You were blessed to have each other ❤️

WOW! That Canon study was awesome!

I loved that video and watched it many times since it came out. The photographers themselves were so astonished to see each other's work.
“Even though he knew he couldn’t see the world as others did, he also couldn’t see what he had been missing”.
This blew me off. Many of us see the world through myopic and single-sided perspectives. Great article, Deb.

Great article, thanks!
how many perspectives does the 3-lens camera in the hero photo create? ;)
