Some people think we are crazy for meeting at 6am 3 times a week but when we say every Monday, Wednesday, Friday we truly mean it! This community provides us each with something special and you never truly know the impact that just showing up has on those around us.
I am grateful that even though people knew that yesterday’s weather was going to make the stairs shitty you still chose to get up. You made a choice and you stuck with it. No one could force you but because of it you made someone else’s morning easier. Maybe that was through a comment, a cheer, or the knowledge that another person who showed up too wasn’t going to be alone.
It can be awkward being around strangers and it can take awhile to feel comfortable with new people but it gets easier. In the first 6months of joining NP I talked to only to the one person that I knew. It took me a long time to be comfortable to put myself out there, I am not perfect at it today, but I am darn grateful for what NP has empowered me with. A trust in another human that we are hear to better ourselves some how. I can work with that now and make a connection that I likely couldn’t do smoothly before NP.
So I hope that the next time you #JustShowUp you feel the importance of your presence because it fucking matters.
Keep being awesome,
Rob
