“When we decide to be part of any community, we are making a commitment to literally be there for ourselves and for each other. Once you’ve identified a group that you may want to be a part of—and that group has signaled that you are indeed invited to join them—the next step you take is to simply show up. Doing so may feel daunting. For in that moment, you are choosing to say, “Here I am,” and for many of us that is a scary prospect. It means we have to be present and accountable to other people. It means admitting that we aren’t getting everything we need on our own, and letting go of our postures of pretending that we know everything or that we’re self-sufficient”
