Happy Sunday everyone! I was reviewing my list of up levels for this year, and one of them is reaching out and being open to more/new connections with people and another is trying new experiences etc.. So I’ve been volunteering with the Humane Society in my town and helping with some fundraising events since last November. I’ve struggled with being self-conscious and feeling like an outsider coming into an established group of people. Last week the voted me onto the Board of Directors and last night we had a huge and successful fundraising event and I left the event feeling so lit up. Another member and I sold raffle tickets and I stepped outside of my comfort zone to connect with her and with all of the people who attended the event. I felt a sense of belonging finally and enjoyed connecting with this group of people over our shared love of animals 🙂
So happy for you. I love that you are being brave and claiming new experiences and connections. You do belong. 😉 Keep on rocking it, sister.
You absolutely belong! And I’m so proud of you for going over your list of intentions and proactively participating in your life.
Wow, so cool! That is something I’ve been wanting to do, but I’m terrified. Thank you for sharing your positive experience.
Thanks Karen 🙂 I got involved through a mutual friend helping with a specific event, and then they kept inviting me back for meetings and stuff and I just helped where I could. I definitely felt nervous and anxious in the beginning but I’m glad I kept going and trying and I found I could connect with a couple of the people one on one. It helps me feel like I belong that we all have a common passion helping the animals.
