I love it when............

I love it when a stranger generously engages with you just when you need it..... and not only do you walk away smiling.... you walk away having your faith renewed in human nature!

I remember the looks from Strangers where ever I went after Shaving for a Cure. If I was a man would I have received as many looks?

Stranger at the laundrette....

Bless the sweet Stranger who had plenty of gold coins to share when the laundrette operator didn't answer the "Ring for Change Bell".

Sharing with a stranger....

It's amazing how you share the intimates of the past with strangers over the phone.

Strangers without sleep

I witnessed a group of strangers go without sleep for over 24 hours while they brainstormed, created and developed a web based business from scratch .... and their businesses are now LIVE!!! The best part - they are no longer strangers. Love being inspired by people who were once strangers.

Helping Hands.......

Love it when a young stranger takes the time to help an octogenarian. Simple.

Strangers who drive cars............

The only time we jump in the back seat of a vehicle driven by a total stranger is when we need a cab. No questions asked, with no doubt we will arrive at our destination safe and sound. This week I doubted this on more than one occasion. Three cab drivers in a row had to consult their Melway's to deliver me to my destination, while attempting to navigate their vehicle in city traffic (one even considered answering his mobile until I cracked it!!). When I offered directions to one said driver he essentially told me I didn't know what I was talking about. Funny how the Melway offered him the same directions???? In this technically advanced society and with an industry that "should" rely heavily on customer service, what ever happened to every cab driver knowing their way around or owning a GPS!!!??

By the time came to travel to my last appointment that would result in a fare in the vicinity of $60 my patience was running thin. But to my surprise I encountered an amazing stranger who not only KNEW where he was expected to go BUT offered to what and return me to my office safe and sound!! This stranger I now call Martin.
