Where You Come From Matters —and it isn't a place

Let us know what you enjoy about the show!


A chance encounter on a train becomes a moment to challenge
assumptions about nationality and kindness. When an elderly
couple attributes my patience to being Canadian, I return to
clarify that values, not citizenship, define our interactions
with others.

• Reassuring an anxious elderly couple that their pace wasn't
inconveniencing me
• Couple assuming my kindness was because I was Canadian
• Returning to explain I'm a dual citizen and my kindness comes
from within
• Reflecting on how assumptions rob us of authentic
connections
• Understanding that values, not nationality, shape our
interactions
• Making choices that create space for reflection and deeper
understanding

Remember to live in the moment.
