Yesterday, I attended an event that I was really not sure I was ready for after a week of difficult emotions. I had to put on a smile and talk to people. Ostensibly, I went there to sell books & journals & cards. But once I got there I realized it was about much more. I met so many women who were feeling just like me, or who were struggling with anxiety for a myriad of reasons. What so many were seeking was connection. I held hands, I hugged total strangers, I shared tears with people I’d never met. What happened yesterday went way beyond anything like sales. Three separate people said, “I needed to meet you today!” Two with tears in their eyes.
We need each other. We need to be willing to show up for each other whatever shape we’re in. We have the ability to help each other heal even when we feel like a bit of a mess. I had an incredibly successful day yesterday and it had nothing to do with selling books.
Love, Cheri
