Today I watched a wonderful film. It was part of a fundraiser for Refugees. The film was 'Le Havre'. It really made me reflect on my work for the past year has been advocating for refugees. I got so bogged down with the stress that I forgot what I did - In the midst of all my fear, frustration and insecurities of having such an intense and demanding role....questioning my ability to do it, in the midst of it all - I forgot that I played my part in some strangers life. Some will remember me, and some will not....but I shouldn't forget this role in my future. This part of my life. And maybe, it will be a part of my future? 


Anyway, back to Le Havre - This film was so sweet and beautifully simple and hopeful. Just the way I want people and life to be. The whole time I was watching it, the cynic in me tried to pop its ugly head out and say 'psshhhh yeah right, if only life was just like the movies!'. But sometimes it is.....there are so many wonderful people out there. Those little moments when people see past laziness, family obligation, friendship, colour, status and they just help you. They present you with the moment of kindness that lasts a life time. So heres a post to the kindness of strangers, the vulnerbility and beauty of those who take risks, and to those who are rewarded with life changing encounters. Lets not forget to keep things simple. To always see the good in others, because goodness is in all of us. Somedays it just takes more effort to find x
