Do you have a community?

Community. Do you have one?

I do, and they are incredible!

I had a bad week last week. Usually in these moments I would reach out to my community, but last week just hit me so hard that I didn't reach out.
However, my community knew I needed them. They reached out to me.
Some knew of my struggles last week, but many did not.

What did this show me?
That I need to reach out as often as possible to people in my community because you never know what they might be going through. They may not reach out. Even the ones that are usually transparent.

It doesn't have to be a big deal to reach out. Just send a card, a quick note, a text, a phone call. Even those you don't know who you see out and about town. Offer a smile, a wave, hold a door open.

Be present in the moment and not worrying about 10 minutes from now. I don't do being in the present very well, it's something I constantly work on. By focusing on those around me though, that helps keeps me in the present moment.

Back to question at the top. Do you have a community?
You might and not even know you do.
If you don't, find one.
Join a club, join a church, take an adult education class, get a few friends together you haven't seen in awhile and have a potluck dinner, play a board game, grab some girlfriends together and go to a paint night.
We live busy lives, it doesn't have to happen every week, but once a month or every couple of months. Just make the commitment to do it. Your community will build!

Thank you to my community for helping me out last week, I'm overwhelmed at your love and generosity!
