7/11/10 Keeping my word

I went to Nature's Market today. I work on Sundays. I like to work Sundays. My friend MG is there and we have the best time working together.

It's on open canvass for good deeds. People come for help and you can--if you want to.

I worked with a woman today. I've talked to her many times before, but today she needed help with her daughter. The girl is young , 12-- I think, and she's afraid at night. She wants to sleep in her parents room or she doesn't feel safe.

We talked about giving her a spiritual center--a place she can go when the world is scary. I offered her some Bach flower remedies for night time. A homeopathic to begin the process of de-stressing this young girl. Her mom felt good when she left NM. She felt like she'd seen hope.

I tend to make promises and then I don't follow up. I have a person's information. I really want to help them. Day after day. Day after day--I don't do anything. I stress over it: I write notes to myself, reminding myself to make the call or e-mail. Finally, I lose the person's info or forget who they are or am too embarrassed to call. So I throw out their info and feel bad.

Yesterday, I met Greg and promised to send him Braco's information. I didn't do it last night.

Danger. Beware. Tonight after family dinner at Laxmi and Dan's, I came home and . . . I sent Grey the info. This is a good deed that took me past my old blocks. I'm smiling and I hope that Greg will smile too.
