OK, so I ended up sending an email to this person in response to his and we are due to speak tomorrow. It is amazing how the mind sometimes races to the worst case scenario. I have to pay attention to this. Had some good conversations about this issue with various friends today, which helped me to put things in perspective. I am feeling better now. The lesson is to approach the conversation with positive intentions and energy and a spirit of gratitude and collaboration as opposed to going into it in a state of fear and defensive. Two very different energy levels and approaches. I am at my best when I focus on putting positive energy out into the world.
