Friends in High Places!

Each and every day is an opportunity to get in tune with yourself and others. It is an opportunity to learn something new to liberate, elevate, and empower yourself or someone else. When we realize it is not about ourselves but about the impact, imprint, and influence we have that can positively effect someone else's life that really matters. Today someone made an imprint on me that was inspiring. I spoke to a co-worker who barely speaks english, who is from Equador, and who is always cheerful and pleasant. I always understand her because I try to listen to her. In talking to her I learned that she speaks Italian, French, and Spanish, and barely speaks English. We laughed because it is usually understood that if you can speak the other languages well, then English is an afterthought. Besides, the other languages sound so much better! She inspired me to hurry up and get my passport. Jockingly I told her if she took me around the world with her, I would teach her English. Jockingly she agreed to take me up on my offer. However the outcome, I learned more about a coworker in 15 minutes of conscious conversation that will impact me for quite a while. Even more inspiring she say's she travels to Italy, Paris, and Europe for FREE as her travel agent is a good friend of hers! WOW!!!!! Can we say friends in high places! To top it off, she has friends travel with her that pay only $400 to travel to the countries with her! Yes, I did ask If I could get the same deal and beamingly she said YES!!!!! It is always worth talking to someone, you never know what you may learn, gain, or give in return : ) I gained a new friend and possibly travel abroad!
