"I am at peace"

Peacemakers are receptive, good-natured, and supportive. They seek union with others and the world around them.

How to Get Along with Me

• If you want me to do something, how you ask is important. I especially don't like expectations or pressure.


• I like to listen and to be of service, but don't take advantage of this.
  


• Listen until I finish speaking, even though I meander a bit.


• Give me time to finish things and make decisions. It's OK to nudge
  me gently and nonjudgmentally.


• Ask me questions to help me get clear.


• Tell me when you like how I look. I'm not averse to flattery.


• Hug me, show physical affection. It opens me up to my feelings.


• I like a good discussion but not a confrontation.


• Let me know you like what I've done or said.


• Laugh with me and share in my enjoyment of life.
