Walk a mile in someone elses Shoes...

Many times I hear people past judgement about other people without really even knowing them. I'm guilty of being on both sides of the fence. We form opinions of a person based solely on what we see, never stopping to take the opportunity to get to know them.

I work with a lady that no one seems to like, granted her personality is VERY strong, and she can come across harsh, she's had verbal altercations with just about everyone in my group except me. Before the holidays she approached me, now in my head I was like I don't want to have to lose my religion on this lady, but my mind-frame was only preset because of the horror stories I heard. When she called me over she simply asked what part of Louisiana I was from, being a fellow native as well. After further conversation, guards let down and accents flowing we had a really great conversation and she was the sweetest. I also learned some interesting things about her that would explain the wall she puts up with people.

What I'm learning is everyone has a story and until you've walked a mile in that person's shoes we shouldn't judge. *Bisous*
