Our reunion conversation flew from topic to topic, and we started discussing my new encouragement adventures in email and blogs. I mentioned that what surprised me back home in Michigan was finding out that my little NOLA Flexibility Series had more readers than subscribers. It turns out that people were passing it on to their friends and family in a ripple effect. I have no idea how many people were following my flexibility trials, but it really perked me up to know that the ones I sent it to, were passing it on.

That’s when I received another beautiful surprise. She had been passing it on to other people who know me, or perhaps more accurately, people who knew me. I never considered that a possibility. Not that there is anything wrong with it. I actually love it!

I truly believed that once I left Nashville, I was gone for good. There’s an air of dispensability in the business. There’s always someone ready to take your place. Always waves of incoming newcomers with fresher ideas. All this time, I’ve been thinking I’m probably not even a memory. And now, it seems through "passing it on" some folks have been getting to know me again. Wow. That opened up my heart and let out a long held, big, fierce, unwavering smile.

Thanks.
