This show was about Daphne Guinness, later blogged by Girvin, the heiress that is spectacularly self-obsessed, but kind of fascinating, in her narcissist condition. She’s a fascinating woman, really – [a human brand, as it is] - in the kind of fascination that comes from spells and witchcraft.

]]> Comment on APPRECIATIVE LISTENING: watchful feelingness by Patricia A. Lopez http://www.girvin.com/blog/?p=8319&cpage=1#comment-302283 Patricia A. Lopez Thu, 10 May 2012 18:26:58 +0000 http://www.girvin.com/blog/?p=8319#comment-302283 I experienced this "listening" from the "eyes" of a beholder. I "heard" his "eyes" as they stared at the top of my head down to my chest then I got nervous and shy and stood up and ran for cover. And it was quite obvious that he liked what he saw and the compliment though unspoken was heard louder than words could ever express as words would have taken away from the experience of seeing and believing. Thanks Tim I don't ever want to forget this experience and you reminded me and now I write about it. Pennies from Heaven. I experienced this “listening” from the “eyes” of a beholder.
