On the Jewish calendar, it’s the month of Elul, which leads up to our High Holidays in early October. During Elul, you’re supposed to take a spiritual inventory and tell people you might’ve hurt that you’re sorry. I had that in mind yesterday, after a terse conversation with a neighbor whose dog and toddler were trampling over our newly planted drought-tolerant lawn. The moment I walked away, I realized that this woman was grappling with a big dog and a small child, and I needed to get over myself. I immediately sent her an apology email. She responded at once with such gratitude. It was the perfect lesson on what happens when you spread good will around. On that note, I have a new blog post on my Career Coaching website, Volunteering Your Way to a Job [2]. I hope you’ll check it out.
