Creating Community to Share in the Everyday

I am thinking of you.  There are so many challenges right now in the world. The challenges have always been there but now we are all able to share in the burden and support each other more fully. I know that these challenges don't feel great but I truly believe deep in my heart that one of the ways that we can get through this is by leaning on each other, talking to each other, and sharing our stories.  I think that we need to keep talking more actively, getting to know our neighbor and each other. Together we can hold this burden and joy.I have felt so honored to get to know so many of you.  I have gotten to hear of many of your life stories.  They are amazing.  There have been so many beautiful and difficult things talked about here. Remember to keep living.  This is the time to reach out even though it feels so uncomfortable.  Thank you for doing this in your lives and being there for others.I would love to create a space that we can share our stories and support each other on the blog. Some of these stories can be simple stories of joy, for example: We had a baby.  Some of them can be complicated and heartbreaking like what it feels to walk down the street when you are a person of color.  Maybe you can share a story of hope where you have made a connection in the world or seen a small glimmer - maybe it was a change of attitude, maybe you rescued an animal, there was a legislative change, you met someone knew and had a "REAL" conversation. We need to hear all of these stories.YOUR stories are powerful.  This is the time to start sharing in the pain, joy, and hope. Shoot me an email.  It is time that we all know the burden fully.  YOU are all in my heart as we share these joys and trials together.
