It's amazing the impression we leave on people. What's also amazing is we don't know how sometimes. It can be from a first meeting, a heightened experience, or it could be from nothing at all just standing across the room and someone sees you.
I was just washing my hands in the restroom and there was a lady in there doing the same. As I got ready to dry my hands, I took a good look in the mirror at the woman next to me who just turned off the water in her sink. I always do this when time is still. I observe and dissect those around me especially when they aren't looking and she wasn't looking. When I was done washing, I patted my hands dry on the napkin and merely said, "Hey Howya Doin" and smiled at her, you know, being southern and nice. Immediately she said my name followed by a "right?" Nah hold on, let's review. Don't owe money, check. Ain't sleeping around, check. Never in my life seen you before Lady, check. OK, safe to answer. I hesitantly replied with a slow yes, but the side eye must have said it all. She then told me, "I recognize your voice." She introduced herself.."Hi, I'm Inas!". I knew who she was then and to confirm I finished her introduction by saying her last name.
I had only spoken to this lady over the phone 3 or 4 times tops and they were very short work-related conversations. I remembered her because of her name. I like the sound of it, its strong, powerful (has to mean something I'm sure), also I like the way it rolls off the tongue. She left an impression on me with her name, subsequently, I left one on her with my voice. Now if I could make some money leaving impressions with my voice. Do you think I would make a good phone sex operator? LOL!
