a bit of personal good news, or it's a small world

a few months ago i was pointed to a wishadoo post from a woman in my city who was looking for work and social services as she had just moved here and was living in her car. my company is constantly hiring, so i linked her to the application and gave her a list of resources in town.

last week i wore a dark crystal shirt to work, come monday she came up to me and asked if fizzgig was my handle online. i told her on some sites and she mentioned both wishadoo and du and i was floored. she told me she was the woman who posted on wishadoo and thanked me for pointing her in the right direction.

it made my day

It's no secret that I'm going through a helluva time right now -- and my apologies for not being more active and present here on DU or anywhere else -- but that message filled my heart, fizzgig.

THAT is cool on so many levels.

Big hugs to all concerned...
