Kindness in Unexpected Places

How A Tech Enquiry and Complaint Turned into A Faith Restoring Gift

SK and J’s conversation.

Subject: Billing, payments and subscription changes

I cancelled my subscription months ago and am still getting charged. I’ve tried to log in on my email addresses, which, over the time I’ve been with you have varied. NONE lets me in which just confirms that i no longer have an account with you.. so why am I still being charged?

Hi SK

Thanks for taking the time to get in touch with us at Support. My name is J, and it will be my pleasure to help you. Firstly I hope that you are having a great day. I was able to look up the account – You have a 2 terabyte (2 TB) account and it has around 4 GB of data in it.

SK, if you would like I can cancel this account for you, and this way it will not renew on the next billing date. Please let me know how you would like to proceed. Looking forward to your reply. Have a fantastic day SK.

Kind Regards,

J

Hi J and thanks for such a prompt and clear reply.

I’ve managed to find the account, thanks. So, I wonder if there is a basic account that I can keep holding on to, but that is free. I don’t need the storage (certainly not 2TB) and it’d be convenient to keep the files I have there, in that spot. But if it’s something I need to subscribe to (ie..pay) then it’s not worth it for me. So, before I decide re cancelling, can you please let me know what the options are for a small account that I don’t have to pay for.

Cheers,

SK

Hi SK,

I hope your weekend was amazing!

We offer the following options:

2 GB – Basic (free)

2 TB – Plus (on monthly or yearly subscriptions)

3 TB – Professional (on monthly or yearly subscriptions)

As you can see above the amount of space that you get for a Free account is 2 GB. Your account has around 4 GB, which means that your account will stop syncing and be out of space so that you will not be able to add any more data.

I don’t want you to worry at all. I canceled your plan for you, and on the 12-Mar-2021 your account will downgrade to a free account and you will never be charged again.

Please also allow me to give you a small Gift of 3 GB of extra space for your account from me to you for free so that your files will be able to sync.

I hope I helped.

If I can be of any further assistance, please let me know.

Looking forward to your reply. Have a fantastic rest of the day SK, and please stay safe!

Best regards,

J

J, I’m truly very grateful for your superb help. Above and beyond… and, while I know these are not situations of life and death (oh, dear… getting dramatic?!), it’s actually the small kindness and excellent service that you’ve shown that HAS made a difference to my day and so, thank you very much.

I do hope you get to enjoy your day, that you stay safe and that you continue to show kindness and professional care as you’ve so obviously done here.

Again, my thanks

SK

Hi SK,

It was my pleasure, and I’m happy to help! Thank you so much for your kind words! Please don’t forget to enjoy the rest of the year, and in closing, let me wish you all the best in your business and personal ventures!

Be well, be happy, and most importantly please stay safe SK.

Warmest regards,

J

Curiosity arises out of not knowing.

Curiosity is our natural ability to look at things with fresh eyes.
Forgoing opinions, previous ideas, or expectations,
approaching all with the wonder and innocence of a child.
Being curious brings us into a natural, open, and vast space of freedom
to explore:

“What is this?”
“What am I experiencing?”
“What am I feeling?”

4. Bring more awareness to what you are feeling. Focus on your felt experience and the qualities of the Inner Resource as you embody it. Resist the habit to analyze. Simply feel your body and emotions. 

5. Be open to your current experience, whatever it is, without judgment. Just ride the wave of the experience.

6. Remember that the quality of your attention and what you are feeling are more important than the content. Notice how your attention changes, waxing and waning, growing stronger, and sometimes getting distracted. No worries, simply bring your awareness back to the moment, take a deep breath, and focus on the Inner Resource.

7. Become familiar with the feelings and sensations of the Inner Resource you have chosen. Feel what is showing up in your physical body and your emotional body. Be curious to discover how this Inner Resource will support you in your life, to be who you really want to be, and feel how you really want to feel. It is through feeling the Inner Resource that you activate the frequency of it. 

Take 5 Deep Breaths

1. Feel your body.

2. Relax your shoulders.

3. Choose a word that makes you feel peaceful, such as om, peace, or love.

4. Inhale slowly while mentally saying the word you chose. Pause before starting the exhalation.

5. Exhale slowly while mentally saying 1 with the first breath. Exhale saying 2 with the second breath, up to 5 or more.

Feel Your Body

Relax your body, and just be aware of how your body feels. Without changing anything, notice what you are feeling, and where you are feeling things in your body. Resist analyzing or explaining anything to yourself, just notice what you feel. If your body wants to adjust a little, let it. 

Notice the texture and color of what you are feeling and where you are feeling it. Note the quality of what you are feeling; it might be tingly or sharp, squeezing or rippling, or anything else. Be curious about what is happening in your body.
