Making a difference with a stranger
A fellow came up to me at a mixer, and agreed to share an experience in a video. After he shared details about a software application he developed, he asked if I’d taught in his school. He said, “I never had you as a teacher, but you helped me get my first computer. It made a big difference.”
I then phoned the computer dealer who I’d referred him to and shared that story. I caught him in a hospital room with his wife who had just donated one of her kidneys to another woman. He loved hearing this story.
Seizing opportunities in our neighbourhood.
A neighbour hired a tree service to trim their tree hedge ( by a third) that was blocking so much of our sun. Not being on our side of the property, their other neighbour may help with the cost. I called the workman across the lot and said, “We’re inspired by your work.” I asked him his price to take out 3 non descript bushes and remove a pile of garden trimmings we’d long wanted to ‘out’ and his quote was $50 less than I was thinking.
Another neighbour asked the tree service if he could have the mulch from his garden, instead of the truck taking it to the landfill.
Grateful for personal and spiritual growth, learning on many fronts, ample supply and not necessarily needing lots of public updates and promotion.
A friend says the power of gratitude is surfacing on so many secular sites. People are seeing the connection between well being and gratitude.
A friend came over to give me some ideas on what to do with our yard to grow more food. He had lots to say. When he saw all the berried ground cover below our large trees it said they would indicate what fruit bushes we could plant there instead. He’s going to recommend someone to design our garden.
Was able to arrange a 3 month bike rental from a local charity volunteer in our neighbourhood for a house guest of ours. He left with a helmet, bike lock and a very suitable bike.
A conversation with a friend at UVic including his introducing me a new ‘Paige’ in my UVic experience. Here she talks about a dynamic field school that has students on a multi-modal learning experience down the west coast of North America.
