\"\"I spent some time yesterday at Panera between a meeting and a client appointment. Standing at the tea counter, I found myself doing a “happy dance,” you know: wiggling around, singing to myself, generally exhibiting joy? I was excited to see my upcoming client, discovered that I had a new seminar to write and was anticipating getting started, happy that I had found steel-cut oatmeal with quinoa AFTER the breakfast menu had closed…<\/p>\n

While engaging in this said happy dance, I glanced over at a table to see a lone woman eating a fairly messy cream cheese bagel. We smiled at each other and said hello, simultaneously realizing that we were both engaged in an awkward moment that the other had “caught.”<\/p>\n

She said, “Well, we just had a moment.” Yes, an awkward one at that, we laughed!<\/p>\n

I introduced myself and declared that I was going to write a blog about this awkward moment. I also shared that tomorrow’s podcast episode was titled, “Random Acts of Kindness” and we joked that this was definitely a “Random Act of Awkwardness.”<\/p>\n

After reflecting a bit, I realized how vitally important that moment was:
\nIt connected two complete strangers in joy.
\nIt allowed for a soul-to-soul connection~ the reason we are all here (despite what you may have previously believed).
\nIt created laughter, an instant emotional booster…and I believe we both may have needed that boost in that moment.
\nAnd it made me want to share with all of you:<\/p>\n

Please look for those connections everywhere you go. They matter. They are what keeps us healthy and thriving.<\/p>\n

Never be ashamed. Live joyfully. Connect on a whim. Be awkward, it’s human.\u00a0Laugh much.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Jennifer.<\/p>\n

Live in love,<\/em>
