My parents, grandma and I are on a trip to Los Angeles and we’ve made it successfully to our first pit stop. I walked in with my grandma and the cashier offered her the option of using a family restroom, allowing her space and considering how she was relying on me to help her walk.Continue reading “You’re Beautiful”

Chicken on the side
Eating at IHOP is always a fun midnight activity to do with friends. The Golden Rule moment was simple last night. I ordered a dish and asked for chicken on the side for my dog. This led to conversation with the waiter about their dogs, sharing of pictures and this mutual respect for each other’sContinue reading “Chicken on the side”
1/2 off Goodwill
Honestly, as a human being I oftentimes step on other people toes, literally and figuratively. Sometimes the question of our personal happiness versus another’s happiness go head to head in a form of battle. At Goodwill today, it was packed, 1/2 off Saturday. My mom and I were there to play and shop. Our cartContinue reading “1/2 off Goodwill”
Goodyear Library
I’ve been sitting here, working on AGREE things at the Goodyear Public Library. It’s interesting to me how differently a person can be treated and how they respond to each treatment. For example, when I entered the library there was a man asking for signatures on a monetary issue for our country. In my carContinue reading “Goodyear Library”
Alaskan Friend
This Golden Rule moment is actually a series of moments and is very dear to my heart. Late last year, I met a guy online from Alaska named Bryan. Him and I were in very similar situations and related on a lot of different topics, including being vegetarian. Over the following months we spoke withContinue reading “Alaskan Friend”
Gift of time
Time and presence are sometimes undervalued. I’m in process of planning an event and realized I’d forgotten a logistic or two. It’s in times like these that you are grateful for all your deposits into friendships. My dear friend Sue Lynn answered yes to a plea for assistance. She was present with my request, understoodContinue reading “Gift of time”
The Dog Community
At the dog park, I was met with smiles and felt a sense of belonging. This was created firstly as individuals recognized my dog and were glad to see him. The feeling continued as people were freely talking to each other. And also when things would happen with our dogs, we would communicate and speakContinue reading “The Dog Community”
Making room for personality
At church, my friend Amber and I were looking for a place to eat (table) at the after service gathering/luncheon. I was amazed to be told later of how considerate she was being of someone’s else’s experience. Apparently, she knew this gentleman that we were with and was thinking about their personality and how theyContinue reading “Making room for personality”
Simply Hi
Lately I’ve been humming to myself more, a sign of happiness I think. So I was filling up on gas and suddenly a person says Hello Miss! I was kinda shocked, having recently come back from New York where saying hi is weird. So I was thrown back, but yes I ended up saying hi.Continue reading “Simply Hi”
Civil Duty
The metro in NYC is usually quite reliable and definitely the quickest way to get to the JFK airport. Unfortunately today, the route was stopped one station short and the passengers were on foot. By the time I’d looked over the details of where we were, versus blindly following the mass of bodies moving East,Continue reading “Civil Duty”
