This Community Celebrates You

This community celebrates where you are right now, what has led you to this place, and where your dreams and ideas take you. Perhaps this is something I'm trying to remind myself of in this moment, too...in a way. I'm a bit racked with guilt with all the pure goodness I have received over the years from this community, and the balance of being present with everyone. Recently, either due to COVID, or because life kind of swooped me up and rattled me, I've been struggling to find the space...and I have to remind myself that guilt doesn't operate here, and space is ALL we have.

I take much heart in knowing that the FV community isn't counting favors, it doesn't "audition" me, and it expects me to only be honest and curious. You are in a place of creative safety...forever. And everybody is rooting for you. And you will always be rooting for them, too. From wherever you are in the world. Everyday. Every single day. 

That's the gift. 

 I am already rooting for each of you.
