    I agree. Reconnecting and mending connection happens better in person. It’s just so scary. Scary doesn’t mean impossible.

    Texting is nearly impossible to connect with someone. Voice inflection and facial expressions matter. I need to work on this. It’s hard yet not impossible.

    Looking forward to your follow up.

    Suz- I have lagged a bit on a response. You are right- nonverbal communication is extremely important. Words alone are too easily misinterpreted, especially when we are feeling defensive.
