you just never know.

i had an unsuspecting and great conversation with a young woman today.  i learned a few things.

1. notice the beauty in others.
2. don't be afraid to ask questions.
3. if you think someone's great, tell them.  everyone needs a reminder now and then.
4. remain humble.
5. if someone admires your opinion, honor that with honesty.
6. teaching does not make you incapable of learning.
7. you never know when you're making a friend.
8. we're all trying to find ourselves and what's best for us.
9. funny enough, we're all going through or have been through the same things. so let's talk about it. we may not find the answers but at least we'll get a good laugh, if nothing else.
10. last but certainly not least. sometimes as women, we want men to notice how great we are.  but we have to notice FIRST.

she taught me that even with all the great women i know, i can always meet more.
be amazing. be beautiful. be graceful.
