I want to say that today I was deeply touched and wanted to share why.

So often we all find ourselves, I am sure, being hurt by the dissapointment caused by unmet expectations. I know I myself have endured an incredible amount of disbelief and dissapointment in many situations and people I believed in over the past few years. But, as much as that is true, there are these moments of light that come from the most unexpected places and people that make up for all of those darker experiences.

These moments often come in conversation, or emails, or something simple acts that sometimes noone even knows that you noticed. Today, I could not help but notice. A new patient came from another country. And, I am certain she struggled to get here and that the sacrafice was quite large. And right behind her came another patient whom, I didn’t know had opened her home to this woman from far away-someone she does not even know, to stay for the time she is here in Los Angeles. and, if that wasn’t incredible enough, I found out another patients donated a large amount of money for her to buy her supplements with becuase she heard that this young woman was struggling to get here. And she asked that her name remain anonymous, which, is really even more incredible.

I have to tell you–that I am in awe when things like this happen, of the grace and kindness that comes from people just being human. So few of us are anymore. So few people take a moment to notice what someone else needs.

Not everyone can do these things, so don’t get me wrong, I am not suggesting that everyone should be doing anything so generous. I just wanted to take one moment to acknowledge two incredible acts of kindness. 

This made my entire day and touched my heart in a profound way.

Thank you both for what you did to make a huge difference in a young girl’s life! That was truly something!
