Some of them I've known for 10 or more years. Then 3 employees for less than 5 (we've been on camping and fishing trips together)
It's a small group, but we all consider quality of friendship is better than quantity of relationships.
What are "project people" exactly?
People I help with various life projects...
One guy is 60 and has regressed mentally to 16... not a modern 16 but a 16year old when he was originally 16. And he live with his mom till she finally kicked him out last year. So i work with him. I give him projects to do like hold a job for 6 months and then we will do something he likes, or I will help him fix something.
Another guy is having problems with his married life, and I help him break down basic fundemental marriage stuff into little manageable pieces and he does those. we have coffee every week and he updates me on what works/what he did and did not do.
I had maybe 1/2 dozen people on line I've help with their spiritual needs over the years. (long term/years of correspondence.) All of which was broken up into small projects for them to complete.
what did you think I meant?
