That is so special to me read this. First of all, I am from Brazil. And I was in SXSW this year where I learned so much with you about compassion and resilience. Thanks for sharing;)
Thank you for sharing this story! I’m on St. Simon’s Island now. We are fortunate to have a second home here. I attended Southern Lights this January and was very moved by your talk, so much so that I purchased your book, which is wonderful.
Interestingly, our adult daughter and her boyfriend are here, too, and told us that they met the nicest woman working as a cashier at the grocery store on Thursday. She told them she’d immigrated to the U.S. from Brazil five months ago. Her kindness and humor stuck out to my daughter, and it was clear that she took nothing about being here for granted.
Thank you for this beautiful reminder that there is so much light surrounding us if we look for it. It is clear from the photo you shared of Giovanna and you that “kindness is its own reward.”

Amazing! I am so happy to hear this. Thank you :)
Great story. I hope the lecture was even more fruitful. People like Giovanna remind me of the Mr. Rogers quote, "Look for the helpers."

I'm so grateful for this reflection. Thank you :)
Wonderful demonstration. Thanks for the reminder I sure needed today: to melt stress, tell yourself a better story!
Yes! Isn't it so funny how powerful that can be?
