When someone really hears you without passing judgment on you, without trying to take responsibility for you, without trying to mold you, it feels damn good!
There are many Beths in the world, shy and quiet, sitting in corners till needed, and living for others so cheerfully that no one sees the sacrifices till the little cricket on the hearth stops chirping, and the sweet, sunshiny presence vanishes, leaving silence and shadow behind.
Business is about solving problems, not just making money.
