A project where we document our most interesting encounters

Namaste 🙏

You turned around at the coffee shop today and asked if I had a phone charger. I did not, but after breaking the news to you we still managed to have a delightful conversation. I learned you were a mother to a beautiful (feisty!) girl, but also a seasoned yoga instructor.

I told you I've been debating about trying it for months now, but after our conversation I finally mustered up the courage and immediately signed up to my first class! EEK! I'm super nervous about it and have no idea what I'm getting myself into (it's tomorrow!), but I also know most good things in life start out needing a little bravery and that is exactly what you gave me.

So thank you for the prompting!! I'm feeling good about it, and although your phone probably ended up dying, at least you can feel good too about possibly changing a stranger's life : )

Namaste.

UPDATE: One year and 255 classes later, we're still practicing yoga!! It has deeply become a part of my lifestyle now, and I can't tell you how incredibly thankful I am for that fateful nudge. I think about our encounter every time I see you in class but I keep it to myself as to not come across as a stalker : )
