If BIGPITTSTOP is going to take a new journey, I feel like I need a reminder (or a new establishing) of some ground rules that make this community home.
What defines home to me?
- transparency of spirit
- mutual trust and dependency
- according to Oprah, home is a place that should rise to meet you, so if that’s the case, I’m also looking for continual development – a place that’s ever evolving and changing
- adaptability
- laughs – big ones and especially the kind where you laugh at yourself
- respect – these are my thoughts, my feelings, my honest views of life
- tears – more often than not, there is a snot fest of some sort on this end – I’ll try to keep the keyboard clean!
- intentional – i cant promise that i will post every day, but I will post when its important. There are many times throughout the day that I want to write about something I see or feel, ponder or toss around in my brain – maybe that’s what Twitter is for
- honesty – as hard as it is – this is one I want for myself. If I treat this like a journal, it has to be a place I can come back and scour for changes of spirit
- protect the names of the innocent – I feel a strong responsibility to use my journey to bring people up – this will not be a place of name calling or calling out – that’s to be done in privacy
- reflective – both literally and figuratively
- vulnerability – I will be me, I promise
Those are my rules – I’m so excited to pick this up again – its cathartic and a consistency that I so need right now.
