Friday after work, I got to run a mile outside before picking up the kiddos. On the way over to mom's, I stopped by WM to get a couple things. I stopped by the women's work out clothes to get a new outfit for losing some weight for motivation! (Every excuse works ;) ) I walked over to the workout pants and there was a woman standing there. At first I was in my own little world and didn't pay any attention until she said she loved my Capri work out pants. I said thank you and so the conversation took off from there. I found a pair that she liked and kept encouraging her to try them on/get them. She was nervous and I told her she'd look great in them and to feel confident in them! She looked so relieved when I told her this. I mean I was selling these pants like I worked there! I even offered to go with her to the changing room and tell her yes or no, probably freaked her out but I wanted her to feel comfortable in them and confident.
It was nice getting to talk to a total stranger and not feel scared or uncomfortable. The reason I'm writing about this is what she said to me: "thank you so much! My husband would love you for encouraging me to get these. I only have sons and it was nice having a daughter for a minute".
Let me tell you, that warmed my heart more than a piece of pecan pie!! Moments like that make me appreciate my personality. I love helping and talking to anyone and I hope I helped raise that woman's confident and motivation.
So don't be afraid in life to talk to a stranger about anything! You never know what they are going through, have/don't have, or ever experienced it. I hope to see her again in the future.
Xx
