May has been a very exciting month. Between being virtually present in a few events (my pieces and posters), computer class at the Literacy Center of Milford, the painting and sculpting parties in Milford and Monroe, the presentation last week at The Grove in New Haven, serving at church, my daughter’s birthday, our community group, family time, and those quiet times by the pool, I can’t complain. I am thankful that I get to do different things. There is never a dull moment for sure. It also gives me the opportunity to meet new people. I am also thankful for all the people I came in contact this month in person, online, and by phone. It is good to meet people and moreover connect with them, because you do not know how one connection leads to another and to others.

We often believe that crossing paths with someone and eventually developing a connection is coincidence. I disagree with that perspective. I believe there is a reason and purpose for those casual encounters. Sometimes all it takes is a ‘hello’ to make a connection. We don’t know if that hello can open the door for you to be a blessing to someone. Some people need a chance to be heard. Some people are looking for someone to share a word. At times we live so in a rush that we miss those opportunities.

Be aware, pay attention, and stop. Perhaps that is the moment when a new connection will be made. Acknowledge the people around you even if you don’t know them. Smile, start a conversation and let it happen. People are more important than tasks, or work, or the things you think you need to do. Perhaps that connection becomes the business connection you’ve been looking for. Don’t miss the opportunity to turn every day in a new adventure.

June is going to be a great month with a new adventure and more people to meet and connect with. This includes training for my new job, lots of painting and sculpting parties, both open to the public and private. There is also an online presentation I’m participating in Wednesday, June 3rd. I’ll be posting details on the homepage. Please, check it out. Join us at one of our painting and sculpting parties. It would be an honor to have you.
