SOULS
You can take this as a guide for work or relationships.
I think it’s about life.
Kindness, Gentleness, Generosity, Grace, Purity of Intent.
To touch the souls of others is as much gift to yourself as it is to the person you are touching.
Yes, you can also through a product.
Whatever it is, Do it with love.

Not long ago I discovered this wonderful cartoon and its accompanying text by Hugh MacLeod. I found it inspiring and thought to myself, “This is what I do, as a personal historian. I touch souls and am in turn touched. The work we do as personal historians is both substantive and enlightening.”
This is the perfect time to share this with you. We are at the beginning of another yearly cycle and with it an opportunity to reflect on our life and our work.
I hope Hugh MacLeod’s “Soul” resonates with you as it has with me.

@Lin Joyce. Thanks, Lin.
I agree Dan, that our work as personal historians does touch souls, when wer’e doing it ‘right’. I love that feeling or sense of connectedness that come from achieving a ‘perspn specific ‘interview, unique in every way and specific to only ‘this’ person.
@Annie Payne. Thanks, Annie.
