This past season when we settled into our seats ready to enjoy another evening, Kelly nudged me to look at the lady seated next to her. The lady was wearing a purple bracelet. The purple bracelet is a spiritual statement that symbolizes a positive, complaint-free world. While millions of the bracelets have been distributed worldwide I rarely saw one locally except at church. When I showed the lady my bracelet we found that we went to the same Unity church. Since that evening, I look for Cindy every Sunday morning. She has become a beacon of warmth, love, hope and kindness for me. Her wonderful smile and generous hug each Sunday is a moment that I hold dear from one week to the next. Thank you KC Rep for sitting us next to this dear lady. - Charalyn Lietzke'; quote[14] = 'My husband has been in a nursing home 4 ˝ years.
