Met an amazing woman today and I truly think she was God sent. God truly sent that woman to talk to me at that very moment on this very moment. Her name is Albertina and what she said to me, I really did need to hear. What brought her to me was the fact that I was reading at the time she noticed me. didn't think I would have so much in common with a stranger but I did. She is exactly 20 years my senior but it's like her and I were carved from the same stone. Her love for the written word was truly amazing and it inspired me. if her niece hadn't come, we really would have ended up talking for hours.

There were things she said to me that just gave me hope and after the morning I had she did give me a lot of hope. There are twp thing she said to me that stood out though. The first thing she told me was that when you find love, no matter what may stand in your way, hold on to it. Life is too short to have regrets about love and you'll only find it once in your life. It's almost as if she knew everything that was going on in my life at that moment. Her words just had this resounding effect in my mind, heart and soul. We talked more after she said that and she ended up telling me that I should publish a book. She doesn't know me but she told me that I should. Isn't that a it weird?! A total stranger believes that I can make a success of publishing a book. It has been on my mind a lot lately and I guess I should do it. I mean if a complete stranger can believe in me enough to encourage me to then really nothing should be holding me back from doing it.

The second thing she told me was that I should learn not to have any fear. It's a philosophy she's raising her two kids with. Don't have fear. Fear just hinders you from living your life without having regrets. Being fearless empowers you to take life by the horns and break them if you have to just to get where you want to be in life. Self-love, self-belief and fearlessness are what your life should be about.

At one point during our conversation I really did wish she was my mother or someone related to me because she has this energy and life philosophy that is truly addictive. I may only have met her for a brief moment but she's made the greatest impact in my life to date. I hope I can instil Aiko with the principles and values she managed to instil in me in that rather short 30 minute conversation I had with her.

I truly believe she was my guardian angel that had come to pass on a message tome and I truly appreciate that moment with her.
