Hi Ron, Thanks for your comments. I appreciate that. You're right too... there is really no replacement for experience... unless we can share some tips from time to time like those I have just shared - that work for me. Thanks for being here!

Linda, Thanks for this forum. When I think about making calls I can feel my heart start racing and get nervous. I guess I have a fear of the phone. I'm going to look around a bit and see what else I can find here to help me out. Martha

Hi Martha, You are very welcome. If you read what the article that I wrote to begin this forum thread, you will find ways that you CAN release the fear of the phone and know that you CAN make those calls on YOUR terms. Please let me know if I can help!
