A Request for Help

I have mentioned before how difficult it is to get people here to listen to the need for change. I am trying a more subtle approach at the moment. I put a single small bar of soap in the women's washroom at work and left it there. I use it and I had noticed that others must be using it as well. On occasion, I meet another in the restroom as we wash our hands. I was told in no uncertain terms that the bar soap was dirty and there was no way the other lady would ever consider touching it even. She is incorrect there. I offered to bring in some literature that would show her the opposite is true and she said she didn't care. She wouldn't touch it. So much for subtle education, I thought. But I left the soap. Some one else was using it. 

Today a coworker asked me if the soap was mine. I told her it was but she was welcome to use it too. She then proceeded to tell me of the problems her little girl has and asked if the soap might help. I was glad to be asked and told her I thought I could help her little girl. I put together some samples for the child and for the family and will meet with the mother to look at the diet of the family too. I told her I am not a medical doctor and cannot give her medical advice but I can offer some solutions that I think could help. She was pleased. 

So, the little bar of soap may open one door, then two. And if the little child is helped, then the third door will open. My farmacy will be open for business and I, once again, will help people with their health as I did in my Green Lifestyle Store. What a pleasure to be of service and have the heart of a servant , especially when it is wanted and appreciated. I ask for little in return, only to cover my costs so I can continue doing what I love to do. And whodathunkit? One little bar of soap. Hmmm.
