I received an incredible email from a former student. She has been having some challenges and we spent some time on the phone discussing them. She sent me a beautiful email. She said:
I just wanted to thank you again for being in my life and for looking out for me.
There are so many people in my own life that do this for me. It is lovely and humbling to know that I have an impact on someone else's life. It is also a bit hard for me to manage. I get uncomfortable and squirrelly with compliments and thanks. Yet another thing I am working on being better about. I am thankful that I can be a part of her life and that she allows me to be a piece of her world. I feel eternally grateful for my students and the small role I get to play in their lives and the amazing lessons they teach me.
I got to see another SLTP friend. We had coffee. We laughed. We talked. We cared for each other. It was another reminder of the amazing connections and heart-lines that are in my life. These moments of meaningful connections. Times when we reach out to the people that matter to us and connect. In those moments are past shared experiences and future anticipated moments and the very precious present. Sometimes I am amazed at the number of people in my life that I see rarely and yet are so deeply connected to my life and who I am so genuinely happy to see. These people fill me with love and joy.
Last night I arrived home and checked my mail. In my mailbox was an envelope from the lovely SH and inside it was full of SLTP-style WARM FUZZIES! Thank you for the heart-touch.
