Small, Beautiful World

With all the little things that have been going on in my life I was just thinking a few little things today. I was in Dallas last weekend for a blogging conference and met quite a few people who are "famous" online. One was a beautiful girl who is known for her perfect hair. I thought she'd be as nice as she was pretty, but that wasn't the case. Very unfriendly, very catty, and has an inflated ego. I don't know why after a week and a half I keep thinking about that, but I do. I guess I was just so surprised. Since we were at the same hotel for 3 days we ran into each other quite a bit, and each time I thought, "Maybe she was stressed last time" but every single time I walked away thinking "What a #$%%#." I mean, "What a very lovely person." I'd never say the word #$%%# let alone even think it.

Now, this girl was running around with a handful of other girls. The one girl she was with was SO dang sweet. Every single time I saw her she smiled and said hello and was just a doll. I spoke to her less than I spoke to the other girl, but every time I walked away from her I thought, "I love her. I will buy any necklace that girl makes!"

In our life we run around all over the place, wearing our business like a badge of honor. I wonder what people would think of me if they only had one thirty second encounter with me? Would they walk away feeling jilted, or would they feel better that we had bumped into each other? I am pretty sure that it's a combination of both... but my goal is to make it the later. And that's all.
