Several months ago, I had an idea for a blog series that came to me after I had a conversation with a friend of mine who worked in an occupation I really knew nothing about. As she shared stories with me about the happenings of her day, she kept saying things like, "People don't realize that I can't just..." and "I don't think people get that I really need them to...."
It's true! I had no idea about those things until I heard her stories. And I knew so little about her job that I wouldn't have even known where to begin to try to understand the process from her perspective.
But I wanted to understand. I wanted to know what she wished people knew so that her days and work could run more smoothly.
That's how this idea was born in my mind. If we could take a short walk (say...just a mile) in the shoes of someone whose occupation is unfamiliar to us, what would we learn? Who knows!? It might even benefit us someday if we have to be on the receiving end of those services.
