“A Day of Kindness and Connection: Sharing Gold Coins and Empathy at a San Diego Beach”

It was a picturesque day at a beach paradise in San Diego, where the sea offered magnificent 7 to 8 foot waves and dogs joyfully roamed around. In this serene setting, I found myself spreading kindness in a unique way. I carried with me a collection of Susan B. Anthony gold limited collector’s coins, which I handed out to the younger kids, watching their faces light up with surprise and joy.

As I strolled along the beach, I struck up a conversation with a kind gentleman who had recently moved here from Maui. My enthusiasm was palpable as I shared my love for Maui. However, the conversation took a heartfelt turn when he revealed that he and his wife had relocated here just a week ago, having lost everything in the Lahaina fire.

Feeling a deep sense of empathy, as an empath, I could sense his pain and loss. In that moment, I decided to extend a gesture of support. I looked into his eyes and expressed my sorrow for his situation. With a warm heart, I offered him and his wife some of my gold coins, hoping to bring a glimmer of hope in their time of adversity. He accepted the gift with immense gratitude, visibly moved by the gesture.

We parted ways after exchanging well-wishes, but as I walked away, tears brimming in my eyes, I pondered over the profound connections we make with strangers. It was as if the universe had brought us together, a reminder to stay anchored in gratitude and appreciation, even in the face of life’s unpredictable challenges. This encounter not only left a lasting impact on him but also deepened my understanding of the power of empathy and the beauty of human connection.
