The Kindness of a Walk

"I challenge you to make your life a masterpiece. I challenge you to join the ranks of those people who live what they teach, who walk their talk."
~ Tony Robbins

On a recent business trip, I found myself with the likely prospect of having to walk from an office building to my hotel after hours and through a sketchy part of the city.  As I stood in the lobby of the building deciding what to do, two colleagues who were headed elsewhere came out of the elevator. I asked one of them whether he thought it was safe for me to walk to the hotel. No, he replied.  And then he turned to his colleague, "Let's walk her to the hotel and then we'll take a cab.  It will only take five minutes."  It took a little longer than five minutes, but I was very grateful for the kindness.
