Friendships are a true gift...

I recently completed an infant massage course with a group of mum's and their babies. I had a truly wonderful time teaching infant massage and seeing the babies over the 4 week course. It is amazing at how quickly babies grow! What struck me when we commenced with session one was the immediate feeling of warmth and friendliness from the group. As an instructor, one of my responsibilities is to make the parents feel welcome and relaxed (in a supportive and non-judgemental environment), but it was lovely to have this feeling in return.
For the first time since starting Idibidi Kids, I received a thank you card and present on completion of the course. I felt truly humble and touched by their thoughtful gift.

The card reads...
"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy and fullfilled life to do the baby massage course with us. Your knowledge has been appreciated and useful but your presence and friendship has been the real gift! Good luck with your business. Hope it delivers you much success and fulfillment, lots of love...."

So next time you are touched by someone's friendship or kindness, why not say 'thank you' as a sign of your appreciation.... it made my day and put a smile on my face!

Thank you ladies.
