I've written about how important it is to me to "show up," both emotionally and physically in other blog posts, especially this one.
In this post, I'm focusing on physically showing up -- as in, arriving where I want or need to be in a mostly timely manner.

As I've Mentioned Before...
Take Me to the Mothership
There are three main reasons It's important that I don't mess up this Situation:
And, finally, the huge amount of shame I would feel for not being able to fulfill a very basic, reasonable commitment would make it really, really difficult for me to show up at all, even if I still was able to maintain my membership in the space.
Nobody wants me to feel ashamed, or to leave. But still. I can't just keep being inconsistent. The Mothership needs to be able to rely on me to do what I say I'll do.

Who's Allie?
Let me introduce you to the amazing photographer + generally kick-ass human known as Allie Mullin. Check out her work, it's awesome. |
I Can Accept Allie's Help in a Semi-Graceful Manner Because While I May Struggle with Showing up, I'M Also Confident that I Am A Valued And Valuable Member of This Community.
So, Being A body kind of worked.
Performing Dawn...Being Dawn
TA-Daaaa!
"Killing It....Dying," coined by Zoe Litaker, another awesome artist-photographer-human in the Mothership community. Check out her website!
So This Is What Being Human Looks Like?
And asking someone to have coffee with me doesn't necessarily qualify as asking for help, even if I'm feeling a little wobbly at the time. By the time I get there, the wobbly feelings might just be gone. Or not. But that's being human. Or so I hear.
