It was a little 3-year-old girl in Morocco who gave me the smallest and at the same time biggest demonstration of partnering this month : she was sitting on the front bar of the moped that her big brother was driving, and as they passed me, she laughed at me, raised her arm and shouted joyfully with a charmingly pronounced French "Bonshour"! Without any fear of contact and with shining eyes, she greeted me, a complete stranger from a completely different culture, and gave me her most beautiful smile. Just like that, for no reason, and simply from heart to heart - this moment left me with an enchanted heart and a big smile.
I realised how often I complain about a lack of being seen or appreciation - yet I simply fail to breathe in the moments when other people send me kindness and love, such as the acknowledgement of a client, the hug of a child or the compliment of my husband. This little girl reminded me to see and receive more gratefully how much love surrounds me when I am not busy to expect it in my preferred format.
