I was thinking this morning..... (Run for cover!)

I that that when the LBS turns, the roles do almost reverse. The DBer becomes the WA, the LBS becomes the DBer. I think it is happening with Kalni, and with BobbiJo, too. You have both gotten to the point where you need to be convinced that you want them back, after months of knowing that you wanted them back, and trying to show them. I think that now if the time where they have to "do work". But, they haven't learned what you have, so it takes them some time to figure out how. And maybe they can do it, and maybe they can't. It seems to me that at first, the trick is to make it easy for them to "do work". Lead them from behind. They have to think it is their idea, but you can still guide them. Maybe you have to make a bigger deal out of small steps, to help them gain the confidence to take larger ones. That's how "trying" can transform into "doing".
