On Dec. 15, a generous woman who saw me frazzled at the West Richland Post Office paid for my packages to be shipped. A random act of kindness. I don't know your name or how to contact you, but I want to thank you and let you know that I will fulfill my purpose and continue to "pay it forward."

Christmas time is so hard for so many, and I want everyone to know that there are amazing people who demonstrate selfless acts every day. You changed me forever yesterday. Thank you.
