And on the day you rode your bicycle, your memoir went from a MEmoir to a memoir of those you now appreciate, the characters of your neighborhood, the people that notices you and bring you about from your inner world into theirs. My inspiration comes from the intricacies of the human spirit, the unrelenting type that puts forth a smile against all odds. Stay inspired my friends, live life 😉

I was raised in the South, did my undergrad in upstate NY, and now live in Seattle (with a few other places in between), and it's never struck me as odd or inappropriate to be friendly to strangers. And yes, when I see them frequently, they stop being strangers and become friendly acquaintences or even friends. How much I would have missed if I closed out everyone around me.

I'm glad you take that chance!
