A quote often (mis)attributed to Maya Angelou - people will forget what you said/did, but never how you made them feel. Seems like you just confirmed this! How amazing to have met Gorbachev and all these people
I’m so glad I found your newsletter. This post especially. I grew up in East Germany and was there when the wall fell without Gorby I wouldn’t be living in sunny South Florida today. 💕
Have tingles reading this! Could not agree more about the “how you make people feel” being what they remember. You aren’t doing badly yourself ☺️.
Just *loved* this, Eleanor! What a great read to start the week. Thank you.
