At first, he asked me if I was okay. I guess my empty expression could be read from a mile away. I hadn’t realized I was walking around with a story on my face. I quickly nodded but within that nod was a cluster of confusion and self-doubt. I didn’t look at the homeless man, not because of fear or disgust, but because he knew something that I d…read more
I don’t know if you will remember me, but I wanted to let you know, I will never forget you. I was the young mother trying so desperately to survive. Hands holding on to my two little boys, and a car seat at my feet, and had my little ones so closely by my side as I checked into the hotel.
I was exhausted and I was terrified. I think you saw…read more

To the kind lady at Target who bent down to tie my shoe because you understood too, how hard Motherhood is. You saw me balancing a baby on one hip, all while trying to checkout and make sure my autistic two year old didn’t take off in the opposite direction ( as he so often does.)
You didn’t watch me struggle and pass me by, you…read more

I connect with the stranger who is myself everyday. WHO AM I !? What am I granted to see and profound to be. Freewill but with a spiritual insight guided by the universe. I had a role to play but it wasn’t the same, I played myself but with other character names. I didn’t realize that I was playing more than one side. I would…read more

While I never knew your name, I always felt I knew you. I always felt like there was something you had to teach me. I think of our encounters fondly and often. You see when I moved into my apartment I wanted a sense of community. I wanted to know my neighbors, in typical New York fashion they didn’t seem to want to know me. That i…read more
Your heartfelt letter beautifully captures the essence of human connection and the impact we can have on each other’s lives, even in the briefest of encounters. It’s a testament to the power of kindness, curiosity, and openness.

Dear universal man, I been meaning to write to you. You have changed my life in many ways. I go out more as an intovert I stayed home a lot scared of the world. You taught me my potential of how amazing I am. Sometimes we don’t see what we’re capable of but even though you broke my heart in two. I love and always will

Recognizing your own potential and realizing how amazing you are is a powerful realization. Remember, you have unique qualities and strengths that make you special.
I appreciate you for everything you’ve done, because I saw the light in you as you saw the light in me, we transformed together, and as I write this letter I wish you were still here with me.
