1. I can genuinely say I create *Norms* on a daily basis with my clients.

   Including my own coach I have two maybe three people that feed me my *Norm* fix on a regular basis.

   By you writing this post, it simply validates what I do for a living.

   Thank you Paul; you are unique and brilliant.

   1. What a nice note Steve . . . Thank you. I really appreciate it!

2. I would like to be the Norm in every aspect of my life.  I’m working on it.  Thanks for the reminder, Paul.

   1. MAAAARC . . . doesn’t sound as good as NOOOOORRRRRM but I bet to you it does 🙂

      Thanks for stopping by Marc!

3. Great post Paul,
   Thanks for the reminder. I try to do this at least on a weekly basis, and I will try harder.I agree with Steve that you are brilliant my friend!!

   1. Thank you Peter.

      Always appreciate your participation on the comments!

4. Paul – I anxiously await your posts to see what kind of pearls you will offer up each day and you’ve done it again today.  So here’s offering up an imaginary glass of suds in salute to you on this fine Monday.

   Thanks for the dose of humanity and hope your week is off to an excellent start.

5. I think you’ve hit the nail upon the head there – we do all seek validation and usually from external acknowledgements but others that say we exist in their eyes.  We also follow this ‘norm’ by showing others we fit in, that we have the right clothes, car, job or even children – anything that get’s other to recognise that we have status – no matter how small.  In many ways we are also seeking a way to be ‘normal’ – whatever that may mean and I spend a lot of time ‘normalising’ things for others through my work with the hysterectomy association – letting them know that they are doing just fine and that what they are feeling doesn’t make them odd as it’s a perfectly ‘normal’ experience.  Being acknowledged and recognised as having a valid place in society is an important and often overlooked service we can do for others – so thank you for mentioning it, it always helps to be reminded.

   1. Well thank you Linda and you are to be applauded for the level of care you are bringing to the folks you serve.
