Start of a new Era

Hi All!  Hopefully there will be a few of you out there to read my blog over time.  I'm just a small town girl, living in a lonely world,,, Oh wait, that's not my story! LOL!!  Well the truth is, I'm not ready to share my story, maybe some day, but not here and not now.

What I am going to say is that I feel there are many classifications of people in the world that I see.  I don't necessarily see colors or genders, short or tall, young or old.  Although these things all figure into who we are. I see instigators, players, dumpers, emotional vampires, caretakers, users, liars, saints, rocks of faith and connectors.  There are probably a few other categories I can't wrap my mind around right now, but of these, I think I am a connector.  Throughout my life, people have stopped me in my day to day to tell me their stories.  Seriously, walking down a grocery aisle, standing in line to buy movie tickets, while pumping gas, anywhere I seem to pause, someone has a story to tell me.  Sometimes, I can help, I can offer information, give a shoulder to cry on, pass a kind word or tell them about someone they should look up or meet.  Other times, I walk away with a great story, but not much help to anyone.  I often see some of these people again, but most I do not.  These brushes with my fellow population, I believe are moments of Karma.  These are my chances to see life from another perspective, or touch another human soul with kindness or just understanding.  I feel taxed often after these encounters, but humbled and awed as well.  I feel these people were brought to me for something, and I can only hope I gave then something to take away. Or at least they gave me something when I needed it the most.

So the purpose of this blog is to start recording these wonderful soul to soul touches that I share from time to time.  Without "real" names and hopefully not identifiable to anyone else, but just to share the business of how we live our lives.  Some will be great some will be sad, but all will be real and all have touched my soul, I hope they will touch yours.
