The instacart shopper, who’s cheerful demeanor and going out of their way to communicate makes my life happy and easier during the omicron havoc.
Piece of mind. I always thank them before they start to shop and they reciprocate it’s a cheerful interaction

Friend & colleague encourages me to step forward & own my role. Today was another example of her discrete & specific efforts to have me vocalize/ verbalize more.
I was able to take responsibility for my part of our NY halau, as well as raise important questions.

As the president of a local non profit, I made an extra effort to create separate thank you notes and/or letters for all of our board members, paid staff, volunteers and recent Ask letter donors who participated in our annual fundraiser.
All of these individuals helped our organization run more smoothly, volunteered their time and or money, and we’re instrumental in contributing to make my job easier.

We connect every day and have good text conversations. She is someone I have only met virtually for two years but she is a good friend. I would like to see her in person and we do have a business idea to work on together but I do feel the pandemic has most of my plans and travel on hold.
It makes me feel connected and understood

We met several months ago and just introduced our two dogs equaling 4 dogs in total. Hers are very large and very majestic. Mine are small, cute and friendly. Who says that dogs don’t give off energy? They were so sweet together and we will now start walking together each week.
Yes greatly. It turned out to be a conversational walk and I ran into two old friends on a beautiful day at a park overseeing the ocean. Wow!
