A Seasoned Soul Moment: The Gift of Sincere Engagement

There are times when connection feels effortless—when it’s natural to engage with someone, to offer a compliment, and to do it with sincerity, appreciation, and warmth. Today I met a beautiful woman, 69 years old, with the perfect lipstick and glasses. I told her how stunning she looked, and she smiled and returned the kindness.

Her mother, 94 years old, was with her—full of life and style, sharing the sweetest interaction with her daughter. I couldn’t help but say, “You come from good genes.” That moment wasn’t about small talk. It was about seeing them, appreciating them, and letting the words flow honestly.

Kindness isn’t complicated. It’s noticing, speaking it aloud, and allowing warmth to do its work. Those are the connections that make an ordinary workday feel extraordinary. 🌻
