The more encounters we have, the more we begin to realize how interconnected we are.  These encounters, on mater how big or small, all play a part in our transformative journey.  we must be cognizant of the ripple effect of our encounters.  Some are transformative and take us to the next level.  Others send us into a downward spiral.  We are all learning and growing, and are at different stages of our journeys.  Remember that no matter how trivial an exchange or encounter may seem, you will likely never know the impact you have made.  Choose your words and your actions carefully; someone is always impacted.
