This week I headed to the hospital to get some blood tests for a procedure. Tourniquet on my arm while pumping my fist ready for the stab, the nurse asked me “so what do you do for a living?” I told her that I had a coffee business for many years which I heartbreakingly had to close because of the covid disaster. My silver lining from covid was pulling the book off the back burner to finally finish it and get it published. She thought that was really cool and asked “what’s it about?”  I told her that I was writing a love story about how I met my wife. “Really?” she said, “why?” I told her that I wanted to bring love and hope to everyone in this crazy world we live in now! God knows we need it. She immediately turned to look at me, still being very careful with the needles and vials. She had this expression that is so hard to explain. It basically said oh yeah we do, way to go!  She loved the the idea and voiced her feelings “Boy does this world need love!” She fist-bumped me and asked what the name of the book was and told me that she would love to follow me. I was wowed by her reaction.  I then shared the name of the book I Guess A Drink Is Out Of The Question and shared my site, BondAuthor.com. She was so excited she almost forgot what she was doing and quickly recovered, saying “We need more people like you this world!” I felt honored and humbled. She then proceeded to tell me she is dating an intern who was just upstairs. They both love what they do, are learning a lot from each other and are having a lot of fun. I said, “That is so cool, I love it!”

In that short bit of time, good vibrations were shared and the contagiousness of love lit up the room. Our conversation was happy and positive. I have heard this collision of two people interacting in life and sharing in this way being called a “Holy Moment.”  It can spread like ripples in a pond. People love LOVE and they love to be around people IN LOVE. Spread the joy and this world can and will be a better place to live.
