I wasn't sure if I would find a ride to the airport but the second I pressed confirm pickup, the car was there with the door open. I never had that happen before.It was a nice car and I asked her why she drove. She said she had just lost her job and was supporting her two kids and husband who had also just lost his job. I could tell she was struggling and offered her some positive words about her family and future. </p><p>She asked what I did and when I told her, she said she loved those kinds of books and listened to inspirational messages.</p><p>I gave her my website and promised to send her a book if she emailed me.
