Anna was a great a salesperson for the farmers market. Market inventory that had been sitting on the shelf for years were gone in weeks. The newsletter email list that took 10 years to build grew 50% in 2 years. She even helped to promote events that the farmers market was supporting like the Town's Needs Assessment survey and the Mass Memories Road Show.
Sitting beside Anna as she was reaching out to people walking by I noticed things about her. When I mentioned one thing that I observed, that while there were many different types of people she engaged with there were some that she didn't approach.
When I mentioned this observed bias, she paused and reflected for a moment then gave a hearty laugh. "I hadn't noticed that" she said.
Anna was open to meeting new people and experiences but at 86 years of age she was also receptive to growing as a person.
What honesty, self confidence, strength and an honoring of truth.
To quote the character Yoda from the movie Star Wars: "The Force is strong in that one."
