In this day and age we totally have begun to accept that fact that an email, text message, Tweet or Facebook status post or comment is an appropriate way to stay connected or to keep in touch. Most of us have just so much going on, that even with that it's hard to keep in touch. I was so awestruck to find a hand written Thank You note inside my mail box from such an awesome person!
So let me back up a little bit before I share this story because truly you just really don't know how a simple conversation can change someones life or path. I am a FIRM believer that things happen for a reason and everything happens the way it's suppose to whether we like the outcome or not. I am also a believer in People and the lessons I learn from each person is just a small part of the big picture. I truly believe that each and every encounter I have with someone is some how, some way, part of my mission or path on this planet earth. No matter how little or how big, I am suppose to move on this world with a mission so great, I am still trying to comprehend it all. But regardless big or small I cherish nearly every moment! Helps too I am a bit of a sap and love happy beginnings, happy middles and happy endings to any story, so even in the worst events, I try to find that Happy Medium!
So this wonderful company was having an Open House that is right across my office. I finally squeeze in some time to run across the parking lot so I can take part of the festivities. I immediately am intimated as this office is now packed with so many people I don't know! I run into a familiar face and give Michelle a huge hug! We chat quickly as she is busy hosting but before she walks off, she introduces me to Lori Davidson! We have a great chat about Real Estate and as I am babbling away Lori says to me "...wait so you are Joy Yip?"
"Uh, yes..." with a puzzled look on my face.
Lori then says, "I just had lunch with a loan officer last week and she had mentioned a real estate agent named Joy Yip and that I should try to connect with her as she is doing well in the business and is very inspiring...and WOW look now you are right in front of me! How crazy is that?!"
"Wow, really?!" Surprised and shocked, "Who is this loan officer?"
Lori says "Do you know Yvette of Wells Fargo?"
With a huge smile on my face, "Why yes I do! That is too cool of her to say that! Thank you!"
As we both babble on a little more and exchanged business cards....who would have ever thought from that simple conversation would impact both of our lives!
I left feeling amazed that someone thought highly of me enough to recommend a friend to see me for advice on real estate. It was just so awesome to know that I am respected in a field that I truly love and is passionate about. From that moment I felt even more driven and more focused on my path. That I received another confirmation that I am truly doing what I was meant to do. And through the love of my work, I can share that energy to others around me in hopes to bless and shower them with positive energy too. Little did Lori know that conversation was HUGE for me! I felt like it had changed my life and opened another perspective in the way I think and feel! On top of that grateful and appreciative of Yvette for thinking of me! :)
So going back to the Thank you Card...I was literally moved to tears because I couldn't believe from that conversation, it took someone to the path they were meant to be on....
So of course going back to how we post everything on social media, I was so excited to share about it on Facebook. Another one of my inspiring friends and tech guru mentor Joe Sabado (www.joesabado.com) then shared a link stating what I had just experienced was a "Lollipop Moment".
This video then totally moved me to even more tears and I am thankful now that I can call all these awesome moments I have "Lollipop Moments"
I am thankful and blessed that I can put out positive energy and receive so many blessings back. Every day has been made up of tons of Lollipop Moments and I wish I was just quick enough to jot down every single one so I can remember it all...
Thank you Michelle Kloss for Introducing me to Lori Davidson and Yvette Garay for being so awesome and to Joe Sabado for confirming all of it with a simple share of a youtube video!
Life is good! I am truly grateful, thankful and blessed!
