My Helper Gene!
Estimated reading time: 1 minute, 2 seconds
A neighbor who owns Ambelis, a local restaurant, always introduces me as the “nicest gentleman he has ever met.”
I counter and say the same thing to him.
The truth for me is that my DNA includes a helper gene.
My assistance to others includes everything from reminding people not to pay for parking when it is not in effect to paying it forward when someone might be unable to pay for an order.
If I do not help, maybe no one else will.
Helping others is part of being a mensch-in-training.
My helping gene also helps me manage my grief.
Love never dies as long as we share our passion and help each other.

No one reads my words, and few, if any, comment on my bookshelf.
But I find myself asked to facilitate more groups and thanked for only doing what any of us would do to help each other manage our grief.
Yet, I hear more people say they listen to my words because I speak with clarity and transparency. Is there any other way that any of us should talk?
