Hart Plaza to West Riverfront

Yesterday I walked from Hart Plaza along the Riverfront to check out the new Residences at Water Square development. Recently opened, I was curious to see what paths I could take to get there other than the People Mover, and this is one of them. I’m really looking forward to seeing what the plans are to make this area more accessible to residents who want to walk, bike, and run.

Although I’ve been on bike, I had never walked the Riverfront behind Huntington Place before. On a 48 degree afternoon in February, it was extremely peaceful along the Detroit River. I journaled by the river as I watched others ran by on this beautiful day.

When you’re interacting with someone, how do you know if they’re diggin’ what you’re saying and connecting with you?

One big clue is if you see genuine smiles … and better yet, laughter!

When you can get others to feel so at ease and comfortable enough that they are smiling and laughing, then you’ve achieved deep rapport and connection.  

Can you tell the difference between a genuine smile and a social smile?

Well, in a genuine smile, the entire face should be lit up and engaged!

Here’s what to look for in a genuine smile:

the forehead is relaxed

eyebrows in the outer ends are slightly pulled down

surrounding the eyes, the orbicularis oculi narrow the eyes or eyelids resulting in crows’ feet to appear on the outer edges

lower eyelids show lines and wrinkles and are relaxed under the eyes

cheeks are plump, tensed, raised up

genuine smiles are wider showing more of the teeth and gums

creating puppet lines that are more pronounced from the outer edge of the nose to the mouth corners.

See the difference in this social smile compared to the genuine smile that I flashed earlier?

From Head to Toes, the BODY Always Shows the TRUTH.

“Gateway to Freedom” Yesterday was 313 day, an official/unofficial Detroit holiday (I always put it on the Detroit calendars I design and sell), but I didn’t get this posted, so here it is a day later. 😎 Gateway to Freedom International Memorial to the Underground Railroad: Dedicated in 2001, designed by Edward Dwight. Commemorates Detroit’s role in the Underground RR and tells the story of 6 fugitive slaves ready to board a boat to Canada and freedom. The gentleman who is pointing represents George de Baptist, a Detroiter who helped slaves to freedom. The plaque refers to institutions in Detroit that were one part of the URR and are still serving the population of Detroit. It has a companion monument near Caesars that features a former slave raising his arms in celebration of emancipation along with a mother and two children, who are being offered assistance from a Quaker woman while one of the children look back across to Detroit. MI had numerous terminals for the URR and Detroit, whose code name was “Midnight” was one of the largest. MI was a destination for freedom seekers in the beginning and had a good-sized population of former slaves in the 30’s. Slavery was abolished in Canada in 1834, and with the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act in 1950, Canada became a better refuge.
