It’s the good stuff. It’s where we can be ourselves, and truly step into the belief that we are perfectly imperfect. It’s where we don’t have to worry about who’s going to watch our kids when we have an important meeting.
It’s about laughter.
When you’re in your community, do you ever feel like you don’t have enough? Are you worried about how many calories you’re eating? Do you really think anyone cares what you’re wearing?
In community, you have more than enough. You have support and love.
But we’ve created a culture that has removed us from each other. We’ve built houses with fences around them and busied ourselves to the extent that we don’t even have much time for our neighbors and friends. Families are strewn across the country to follow jobs and dreams.
So, we fill the void with stuff and more busy-ness. And it never quite does the trick. We eat to feel better. We buy stuff we don’t need to feel better. We become workaholics. And it works for a minute or two, but then the hole is right back… because true wealth comes with true connection and intimacy.
It’s so unnecessary, all of this separation.
So ultimately, Wise is our community. A place for us to know your worth and a place where the last thing you need to be is perfect. I know that together we are far more than the sum of our parts, and that we don’t need to stand alone, defiantly independent, but rather can enjoy graceful interdependence. We are self-reliant, but not self-absorbed. We can celebrate each other’s strengths and achievements, and be inspired to live life BIG. And we’ve got some BIG work to do together.
