... and the goodness is coming BACK!

Those who know me have often heard me refer to the way I like to lead my life as follows:
"I step into the stream of life each day and start casting good deeds on the waters without expecting anything in return. The stream carries them away without so much as a trace. I do this for a long time and then ALL OF A SUDDEN I look behind me... and there they are GOOD THINGS COMING BACK MY WAY!! Its a round small planet and no one gets out alive"

I had just such an experience yesterday. I am helping a young and brilliant gent through one of the mentorship programs that I help out with. Let's just call him Chris. Yesterday I had the opportunity to meet his wife Somyia for the first time as we got together for a dinner with spouses. My wife spotted it first. She is usually so cautious and so discrete that I was somewhat embarrassed as she kept staring at this young lady's blouse and nudging me. Finally she blurted it out "you have an RHB pin on!" she said. Then I noticed it there proudly on her blouse. She had attended one of Dave's seminars in Waterloo, heard the story and thought that this was a "movement" that was worth being a part of. The best thing about it was that she is a lawyer who is starting fresh in this great land of ours having come from India only 3 short years ago and qualified in Canadian law. She's now practicing corporate law in the Waterloo area AND has a young son!! It was so great to see such an accomplished person think that this was something worth proudly being a part of.

For those of you who don't know about it the RHB movement is something that a close friend and GREAT marketer - Dave Howlett - started some years ago based on a story I once shared with him from my life. Dave is the REAL hero but I could not help but feel a feeling of "goodness" from the stream of life coming back to me... and the wave was almost overwhelming. It will certainly be a long time before I forget that feeling of the "circle of life completing itself". Thank you Dave for your global evangelical work in bringing common values and humanity back into our lives! You are indeed making this a smaller better planet!
