‘You Are Always Welcome’
I’ve heard one too many times recently about people feeling awkward or weird about showing up to November Project if they haven’t been for a while. I’m certain there’s another group of individuals who have never showed up for this very same reason. They’re afraid of being an outsider, an ~occasionaler,~ not a regular. I, myself, have been through phases of time where I was unable or unwilling to show up, and I know what it feels like to get questioned from my tribespeople as to where I’ve been. I know they don’t mean any harm when they ask, but I understand feeling like you’re letting everybody down by not being there every week. The whole idea of this movement is about ‘just showing up’ – no matter what. The no excuses rule makes you feel like you’re not worthy if you actually have a valid excuse. And trust me when I say there are valid ones (and I don’t care if anybody thinks I’m full of crap or lame by saying this). We’re all only human and we are busy. We have important things we need to do, races we need to alter our workouts for, jobs we need to get enough sleep for, injuries we need to adjust for. Sometimes, an NP workout just doesn’t fit into the routine. But that doesn’t, for one moment, mean that you are not welcome when it is. read more
