I first met Celeste
at the top of Blue Mountain. We were hiking. She was pregnant. She
was beautiful.
I had to say hello to this girl.
“Cool Shirt.” I said.
“Thanks” she said. “I got it at my friend's store. It's called Magic Mountain.”
“In Guelph?” I asked
“Yah! How do you know Guelph?” she said with excitement
“I'm from Erin.” I said
“Oh really!? I'm from Elora”
I didn't run into her again until 2 years later. I was pregnant this time. She was having green smoothies in the Many Hands of Meaford shop. This girl is so familiar, I thought.
She made the connection. We talked about health food and babies and her job. She said she needed someone to watch her daughter while she was at work.
I said I would LOVE to!
I had a childcare business:
The day I was to babysit, She said she had to work at 5. I figured I'd see her at 4:15, maybe 4:30.
4:45 rolled around and she had not yet arrived. This girl likes to cut it close to the line. I thought.
Then it was 5 o'clock. This girl is kinda flaky, I thought.
At 5:15 she arrived at my house. This girl is going to loose her job, I thought.
She strolled in with a box of organic fruits and vegetables. Tupperware filled with Quinoa. She started making casual conversation with me.
“Ummmmm. You're, like, really late for work...” I said “Aren't you going to get in trouble?”
“Ahhh, they can fire me if they want to, but they won't. They know they aren't going to find anyone else in this town who works as hard as I do.”
Ohhhh. I get it. I thought: This girl is Me.
And that's how you know when you've found a lifelong friend.
The things you Love about everyone else are always the same things you Love about your own self.
Think about that next time you are pointing out your favorite quality in another. Those are the same qualities you possess inside yourself. Everything you could ever want to be or do, you already have and are.
If you've forgotten how to access that inner spirit of yours, there's tons of fun & interesting ways to find keys that can unlock it again.
Maybe it's time to go on a ♪♫ scavenger hunt ♫♪...
