What a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing. My friends are always asking me, “Why are you talking to strangers?” and it’s because you can often have meaningful encounters like this.

.....and I like to think this is what life is about. If I were not a cynical introvert I would

hope to have an experience like this. Serendipity with a dash of synchronicity.....

This really resonates with me as well. Our industry can often feel superficial and shallow. I need to remind myself of your words.

Oops I hit the wrong key as I was attempting to say that was the least important part of my reading this incredible post!

It almost brought me to tears. Being an introvert masquerading as an extrovert in my career as interior designer, I am so often relishing in this very same type encounter. I keep saying that the universe is providing these people on my frequency! It is such a wonderful thing to experience, authenticity!! I went into this second career knowing I did not like what I saw in the field and I was determined to do it MY WAY. It has rewarded beautifully. And NOT scaling has been a huge part of that “success”. I LOVE you, Amy! Keep on doing it YOUR way.
