In the moment...

Today I find myself looking up and listening to people more. Having genuine interest in what they have to say. It's this powerful shift in context that's fun and not sapping my energy either.
Being in the moment simply means awareness. Listening with an open mind.

This might be simply the excitement of a new project, but for now I am going with it.

I ran into someone as I was downstairs getting a sandwich late in the day. It was a young woman who was looking at a vacant spot in our building for her business, she bakes cakes! What is it about cakes today? There's a theme going on I think. This morning I was speaking to the owner of a local bakery / coffee shop where I live. As he was making my drink, he showed me a book of his cakes. All kinds of beautiful creations! Looking at the photos made me think of a really neat wedding cake I'd seen online and I mentioned it to him. He'd given me his business card and name, so when I got back to a computer I designed a card with the pirate cake picture in it and sent the card to him.

Anyway, I took the young woman Helen to our building's property management office. Hope it helps. Maybe we'll have a cake shop in the near future. She'll probably get good business just from our building alone.
