When a Friend Checks On You
Have you ever had a quick one time encounter with someone who then became your friend? Well, that happen to me on my birthday in 2021. I went to Puerto Rico to look at a retreat center where I wanted to host a yoga retreat. The man who owned this amazing resort, welcome me into his home and encouraged me to think and dream bigger than I had ever before. We stayed in touched since I had a retreat on his property in 2022 but today out of the blue, he said I was on his mind and he wanted to see how it was doing. I told him that my mom had recently passed away. I reminded him of the day that he and I met had been close to the time his mom‘s had passed away. He said he definitely remembers the timing of our meeting. I told him I’ve been going nonstop since November 30 when she went to the hospital. He told me he underestimated the impact of his mother‘s passing. I told him I sure I haven’t fully processed my mom’s either. At the end of our exchange, he said I have a place to come to if I need a respite. If someone is on your heart, check on them.
