I just had an amazing lunch with an amazing person, it was nicole, from here!
If you don't know her, she's been on some adventure this month, driving around all these different states trying to find which one to call 'home' next. It's pretty inspirin' to hear about her journey, actually; you should go check it out. Really.
I have no idea what to write about the lunch, though, but it's got me with Zaadz on the brain, so thought I should at least write Something, right?
The key topic was Zaadz (naturally!) and just what an impact it's had on our daily lives. And really, it's not Zaadz at all that's been such an influence. It's all the freaking Amazing, inspiring, just great people that it's attracted. Do you all know how much'a'n impact you all have? Ack... WE all have? There's truly something unique about the type of people this place has attracted. And anywhere that gathers great people together...
I think one of the funniest parts of the whole thing, is that there we were, both talking about how cool it is to get to meet another great person, the inspiration and support and stuff that we both were grateful towards each other for... and then we both talked about we don't really feel very "Zaadzy" compared to some of the just awe-inspiring people we meet on here. Both sort'a feel like we're "just" regular people, not in the same league as all of "them" (meaning YOU!). Wonder how many others feel the same way?
Well, I don't know what else to say about the whole thing, I just know it really was a great time. I Totally recommend All of us to meet up with any Zaadz people we have the chance to see. It's really an inspiring thing. I feel more than ever that there really is something special about the people this place has gathered around it, and the feeling that we can (and WILL) all follow our dreams and really make a difference is more prominent than ever.
Plus, she picked up the tab (Thanks Nicole!)

{raises hand} I feel like “just-a-regular-gal.”
Thanks for sharing the Zaadzy connection… it's always nice to hear about the meetings and events when “great minds” unite… even if for a brief moment. Goodness happens!
Yeah, what Kelly just said.
Did you know there's a pod to arrange this sort of thing? It's one of Obi's. Called the Gathering. (One of my favorite restaurants in San Diego, but I doubt that's why he chose it!). LOL

Oh my, Rob, do I feel honored or what?! It was sooooo flippin' great to meet you. I concur with EVERYTHING you blogged. You are on an incredible and courageous journey yourself, and I am completely in awe of what you're doing.
We spoke of many of you in the community who contribute so much to Zaadz, especially YOU Miss Shelly. You are one of a kind!
Thanks for the info Diane. I didn't know The Gathering existed.
I encourage everyone to find fellow Zaadszsters. It is a special occasion, and Rob, thank you for taking the time out of your day to meet with a fellow citizen. You're an inspiration, and an awesome individual.

Wish I could meet you guys… Maybe I'll come over to the States oneday and see some of you. Or you could come visit me here in South Africa. Anyone in the mood for a safari? heehee.
I have also found zaadz to be such a great and positive influence on my life. I have become a more positive and productive person. Just knowing there are people out there (even though you are on the other side of the world) struggling, aspiring, dreaming and thinking in similar ways to me, makes me feel better and more able.
Thanks Rob, you always make me smile.
