Hi Suzanne,

An invitation from me to you: If you repost your comment using the topic subject (rather than the subject "Digest for ..."), it'll be easier for people to track the conversation.  I'd then delete the "Digest for ..." version.

Hi Angela, Yes, invitations seem more comfortable to me. Have you heard of Sonja Foss' work on Invitaional Rhetoric?

[1 Update]  Topic: Not so sure I like "requests," either. Angela Harms <angela...@gmail.com> Nov 18 11:16AM -0800   Last year, I wrote "I've decided I want to try only making invitations for a while," and got some replies I enjoyed a lot. I'd been talking about how "requests" didn't seem to me to be in line with what we're wanting when we "do" NVC.   I've spend the last year working with this idea, subjecting it to criticism, holding it up to the light. And I've concluded that I really don't have much use for requests. I'm done with them. They don't lead to connection in my life. More often, they lead to stuckness, and reactions of compliance or rebellion, neither of which appeals to me..   I'm wondering if anybody else has worked with this idea over the past year, and what results you've come up with? Is there any reason to hang on to requests as part of our understanding of nvc (or nvc2.0)?   By the way, I'm moving to Central Ohio, and would love to connect with people there. Drop me a line if you're nearby!   Angela   -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NVC Evolves" group.
