Just Ask Elizabeth- Accepting Advice From Others

Dear Elizabeth,

Seems that I am always being offered advice about everything! How do you handle the “know it all” people in your life without offending anyone?

Dear Help needed in Hartford,

I, too am constantly being offered advice from others about everything that you can imagine. I just listen politely, offer a word of thanks, and then write the suggestion down, if I think that I could possibly use it in the future. I keep a small notebook in my purse to record all of the suggestions. People are just trying to be helpful, so use the great suggestions and ignore all the other suggestions. Seems to work for me. Best of luck!

Elizabeth
