Sowing Ripples

This morning, I bumped into a school mum who attended my workshop yesterday.

She told me the workshop was "good". I renewed my offer of a coffee chat to discover her issues around career, and she promised she would talk to me about it real soon.

While shopping at the Plaza, I met a lovely lady from my church who also had been at the workshop.

She was brimming with such joy and renewed purpose and looked like she was carrying herself a bit taller and straighter. She had been feeling low because of age (she's in her 70s) and others' expectations and her own sense that she has outlived her usefulness. She says what she learned yesterday has given her a sense of hope and she can now see the light at the end of the tunnel.
