M was at a book launch that I also attended and I overheard her talking to another little girl....a girl she didn't know.
She walked towards this girl, stopped, turned and said 'Hello.' And then proceeded to introduce herself, ask the other girls name and strike up a great little conversation.
To me.... that's brave. I am not the best at initiating conversations with strangers, but just like MJ, I can do my best to be friendly.
So, if you accept Dare #11 today, you will be having a chat with a stranger:) Maybe it's someone you have never spoken to at school or work....maybe the person behind you in the check out line....maybe the postie or the servo lady or .......
Wish them a happy Christmas season, if nothing else, but try and make the conversation a little bit deeper than that if you can. And if you do speak to a stranger today, comment on the blog and let us know who it was (names not necessary), where it was, and how you felt after completing today's dare.
Blessings

You don't have to get touchy feely with a stranger, but you do have to smile,
ask questions, share and listen.
PS. I was the recipient of Miss A's generosity in minding little j yesterday for Dare #8. What a blessing! Proof that if you can offer to give a Mum a break by minding her kids for an hour or so, you will be doing something to make someone's day better and easier. So if you haven't accepted Dare #6 and Dare #8 as yet...get onto it!
