Learning to expand our NOW

[Masud Sheikh]

Hi Judy,
You correctly pointed out that I tend to be judgmental. But I did not
understand what you meant by "you were obviously waiting for a baited
response from her". To start off, I do not understand what is a "baited
response".

But Judy, my request was for help - and it was genuine. What would you
would like me to learn from your feedback?

implies that she was being judgmental and then in this post you instantly
jump to conclusions and "judge" her...hmmmm...  IMHO you cannot factually
conclude that her lack of response was some sort of avoidance on the
issue.  As Lisa has pointed out, there could be a zillion reasons why she
didn't respond within a day (hardly enough time to even make a
conclusion)...I think you read way too much into this as you were
obviously waiting for a baited response from her.

space for my views, as well as hers, can you please suggest an alternative
way of posing my comment/question?
