Not every day is a good day, show up anyway!
Just last week I stood in my kitchen, full of amazing women… I was internally overwhelmed and the bags under my eyes were informing everyone that I was most definitely tired.
I tried to hide the face of my internal storms but they noticed. They especially noticed when the cake batter went flying and the eggs covered my shirt. I tried to play it off but I knew they knew. I should have just canceled. It would have been much easier to retreat into my field of weeds, to hide under the comfort of my blanket and to quit for the day, but I showed up anyway.
As we began to conversate we came to realize that 3 out of 7 of us were in the same state. We were overwhelmed, tired, weary and close to canceling on each other. Many laughs and tears later, we realized this quality time was exactly what we needed. We needed each other to rise from the pit and to encourage one another in truth and in love.
There is something special about showing up even when you don’t want to, and I bet that 9 out of 10 times you won’t regret it. Why? Well, it’s simple, we were made for community. And even if it’s not a good day, you should show up anyway!
With love,
Abby A
