We did it! 8 Week Challenge Complete!
We did it! Over this past 8 weeks we’ve intentionally moved a little closer to the people around us. (Or at least thought about it, right? 😉)
Over the past two months we’ve:
Learned a Name
Invited someone to sit with us
Followed up
Sent an Email
Built a Basket
Invited Someone
Asked for Help/Borrowed Something
How do you feel? Like you’ve ushered in welcome? Like you’ve built up some going first muscles? Was it harder than you thought? Easier?
I love that we accidently ended our challenge at the start of spring. I hope as you welcome back the the greening world that it reminds you of us going first. I hope you remember that, while it looks like nothing is growing in those first couple of weeks, the truth is those roots and shoots were slowly awakening. I hope when you spy those first crocuses and daffodils opening their blooms, that they remind you of you. I hope they remind you that, while there’s a very real fear of being iced out when you’re those first blooms, you also usher in hope, joy, welcome.
So now what? Keep going. We’re just getting started.
