Making a Difference When You Least Expect It

Last week I bounced all over the country for my speaking engagements.  On Tuesday I spoke in Tupelo, MS, Wednesday I spoke in Birmingham, AL, Thursday I spoke in Columbus, OH and I closed the week out in Burlington, VT.

As always, I really enjoyed meeting the ladies and teaching them about leadership.  Each location provided me with opportunities to help individuals on a one to one basis and do what I do best which is helping women to achieve their objectives.  One woman in Birmingham, AL wrote on my evaluation "This seminar is the best thing since the creation of Lays Potato Chips.  I just can't have one. I need more of these seminars!"

At the end of my session in Burlington, VT two women came up to me. That's when it happened.

One woman said to me "you were sent here today for a reason.  You are a Miracle!  You've never been to Vermont before have you?  When I arrived today and saw a woman of color at the front of the room I just had to sit in the front row."  As her eyes filled with tears I realized the sincerity of her comment, and that without even realizing it, I was making an important impact on her that would make a positive difference.  We connected and had a good discussion.

It meant a lot to me because that's my mission and purpose in life.  I help women on the Journey to Achievement of their Destiny.  In that moment, her journey and mine had joined together and I will never forget her.

I am grateful that she took the time to share the experience with me.
