Randi Rentz's Story: I Talk to Strangers, You Should Too! “I’m now a life-long, die-hard people person. I never used to be, though. In fact, I never enjoyed chatty encounters with people I didn’t know…until cancer. I wasn’t hostile before breast cancer. Every day I had pleasant exchanges with strangers and acquaintances – an enthusiastic ‘Morning!’ or a friendly ‘Have a great day!’ Such moments continue to be life-affirming, yet, prior to breast cancer, they were blessedly brief.” Read the rest of Randi's story.
