It was a gorgeous late fall evening two nights ago. The temperature was still balmy at 7 pm and the outdoor patio at Giovanni’s called to me. As I was being seated by the hostess, I felt a tug at my sleeve and it turned out to be one of my students from The Path to Fabulous workshop I had given last spring. She talked about the workshop, how it had changed her life and that the memories were still fresh in her mind 6 months later. She said just thinking about the workshop brought a smile to her face.
Naturally, I was delighted to hear that she “got” the message and was enjoying being Fabulous. She announced that she was leaving for Italy in the morning and that this trip was a result of taking the workshop and living her life at a whole new level since then.
When somebody tells you that your work had value and changed their life….it’s more than just an amazing feeling. It’s the kind of feedback you live to hear and it spurs you on to do more of the same for more people. Her smile was ear to ear and by the time she thanked me for the workshop, so was mine.
Once again my life had new meaning and purpose thanks to a student who took my class. I will be forever grateful to her for her kindness and generous words.
The wine was crisp, the temperature was warm, the breeze was refreshing, and the salad farm to table. What a Fabulous night that was! I shall never forget it or the kindness of a student.
