A kind word, kindly spoken

My Geddy called from Washington, D.C. to tell me goodnight. We talked a bit about his day at the sustainability conference, and he mentioned lunching with a colleague who is vegan. He struck up a conversation with the man, telling him that I do a lot of research on organics and nutrition. He said it impressed the man that we grind wheat to make our bread.

I told Geddy it makes me happy to hear that he tells other people about things I do at home, and he said, "Oh, I tell everybody that!"

Further proof we shouldn't underestimate the power of words.
