    tweet - Text - Ed Solomon Follow @ed_solomon The other day a woman related a story to me about how her mother had viciously berated her since she was a child. And how one day it was happening in an elevator - in front of others. When the door opened on their floor the mother bolted out but just as SHE started to go.. 1/ 7:35 AM 29 Jan 2018

    tweet - Text - Ed Solomon Follow @ed_solomon a random person who a stranger happened to be there - whispered, "Hey." And the (then 11 yr old) girl turned back. The stranger said: "It's not you. It's her." And then the elevator door closed. Why do I bring this up? 2/

    tweet - Text - Ed Solomon Follow @ed_solomon Because the (now 53 year old) woman told me that at times when life gets really dark, when she hears her (inner) mother's voice telling that she's shit, she can't do it, or to just plain give up.. she then sees that stranger's face as the door closes in front of her. Nodding. 3/

    tweet - Text - Ed Solomon Follow @ed_solomon Sometimes it's the only thing that keeps her going. The point? If you have a nice thing to say a compliment - even if it's to a passing stranger.. Don't hold onto it. Cause you just never know where and when it will land. 4/4 a word of encouragement,
