Open to Receiving

Here’s Something To Feel Good About Today!

We never know who we will meet or how they will touch our lives. That’s why it’s so important to be open to allow their goodness to find us. It was that way for me when I connected with a stranger and after a brief heartfelt conversation received an amazing gift.

When we met there was an instant connection and an exchange of e-mails. About a week later, she stopped by the shop where I am working, handed me two books tied with a silk ribbon and a beautifully embossed note. She said “these are from my library, they have profoundly impacted my spiritual life and I hope I am not being presumptuous to offer to lend them to you.”

I was so touched by her authentic gesture of good will that my tears overflowed as I hugged her. It felt as if my prayers had been answered. For weeks prior I had longed to find something meaningful that spoke to my soul’s growth and had come up empty. Now here they were; two books from a stranger that really resonated with my spirit at this time and place in my life. How could she have known?

Connecting can be magical when two authentic people speak soul to soul; prayers can be answered.

Now, my passion has taken me to blogging, compiling, and sharing stories of people who in their own small way have made a difference in someone’s life; stories that have the amazing ability to reawaken our senses to experience everything that is and can be good in the world and connect us with each other.
