An After Thought Leads to Friendship

I did an event to raise awareness of my Healing Through Story mission. Most of the passerbys were people who love to take photos. Every now and then someone would be touched by one of our stories, such as "My Last Conversation with Mom". One woman lingered. She read one story, then stepped aside as I talked with another visitor. We chatted a little, then she read another. We chatted some more and then she left. A little while later I saw her lingering at the entrance and we talked some more. She was deeply moved by the books I had on display, and I didn't dare tell her I had so many more I didn't have room to put out. It turns out that she is a therapist. She saw right away the healing power of the books - those who have created it and those that have received it. She runs groups helping people realize their dreams through The Secret and discussed incorporating vision cards and vision boards into her groups, along with many other uses. I thought about her as I drove home and how quickly she got the message, the healing, the power of story. I can tell you without talking to her, that she did not sleep that night, as there was an email from her early the next morning wanting to join in the Healing Through Story mission. I am blessed to be able to share this story and this mission to others.
