A Beautiful Stranger

As she walked across the street, I commented on her sweater and we both laughed. A few minutes later, we were standing in the middle of Kentucky St. talking like old neighbors.

There was warmth in her smile and sincerity that felt genuine from the very first hello. The kind of person who reminds you that goodness still exists no matter our beliefs, backgrounds, or differences.

Sometimes all it takes is a small compliment, a quick conversation, and the courage to say yes to a beautiful portrait.
