I just have to share a modern miracle!
I volunteered today at HAS. After finishing up, Charles came by and we walked from the office to a little Mexican restaurant a few blocks away. After enjoying our meal, we walked another block to seek out a copy of Modern Healthcare Magazine at a local news stand. Once finished there, the next stop was a trip to Powell's.
But before heading there, I checked for my wallet and to my dismay, it wasn't there. It wasn't in my pocket or in my bag. It was lost on the streets of Portland in a pretty busy area of the city :-( Hoping that I'd left it at the Mexican place or at the office, we began to retrace our steps. No sign of it at the restaurant... I whispered up a prayer as we walked to the office. "OH LORD, please help!"
Probably less than a minute passed when my phone beeped with an email. It was a message on Facebook-not my old FB acct. but a new one that focuses on my involvement with HAS; this one has more open privacy settings because it helps to share HAS with more people. This in turn makes it easier for someone to search and find me....
Here is a exact copy of the message:
Subject: I found your wallet
"Hi, I found your wallet tonight on the sidewalk downtown Portland. Your drivers license and onpoint credit card and home depot credit card are still in it, along with some club cards. There was no cash in it. I live downtown on the Park Blocks in the Ladd Building. You can pick it up from 12pm-6pm tomorrow at the concierge desk."
