Grin, thanks for the confidence. I used to love to talk on the phone, but that's changed. Now, I avoid the phone most of the time. It drives my husband crazy because I'll let the phone ring without answering. OK, I'll get in touch with you and give it a try. I'll probably have to buy some seed beads, though, don't I? Of course you can teach by phone. You were a professor for years. *grin* The only difference is you're not teaching your students in person. Funny, I can bead, but I'm not so sure I can teach beading. Then again, I never thought I would be able to teach anything. I think God was trying to tell me something when I was hired on as a teacher, twice.
Warm regards,
Sahar Husseini

I am sure you CAN learn to capture a cab through verbal instructions - I am
positive you CAN.
I was afraid I could not teach a class via phone - but I have just done it
twice. I amazed myself - I have a phone phobia. I seldom call people, and I
never really like to talk on the phone much. But, I thought, I will try to
teach the clay class and if I fail, well, I tried. But, it was really FUN
and I enjoyed it very much. I was very afraid of doing it.
