Take Care of Yourself Before Walking Out The Door

Take care of yourself before you walk out the door.

These were her last words as we parted ways.

I have not seen her since.

I have tried to.

I have intentionally tried to walk Kaleb around the same time every morning.

I was hoping to run into her again.

I was hoping to ask her questions.

No luck.

Someone once told me, “People come into your life for a reason, season or a lifetime.”

My encounter with her was one of those.

45-minute walk around the neighborhood with a complete stranger.

45-minute walk around the neighborhood that left a profound impact.

45-minute walk around the neighborhood that added a tool to my toolkit.

The importance of taking care of my mental, physical and spiritual self before walking out the door.

From one stranger to another, “Take care of yourself before you walk out the door.”
