I have a history of committing and then cancelling because.. i feel overwhelmed, i had periods where i was really anxious, etc etc. and what i noticed in the last 5 years when i began working on literally just turning up, is that just the act of being there is perhaps the biggest thing? And like you said, it’s ultimately so necessary ANd good for us!
It's so true Fran. I first witnessed this in my kids: just getting out the door is sometimes the hardest part. As a community organizer, it's deflating to see empty venues and poorly attended events. When we show up, just as we are, that's when the opportunity for connection happens. There's so much good stuff already happening!
