A lot of my job is about meeting people and getting to know them while allowing them to get to know me. And I’m good at this. I’m a people person and I enjoying hearing other’s stories and telling my own. On occasion I slip from being my normal self into this awkward, over enthusiastic, pushy lady. It usually happens when someone comes to an event and seems interested in our community, but they are hesitant. There is some external pressure to grow our community and that’s part of my weirdness, but I also just really want to share the beauty of this experience and the life giving power of the people of SFC. I know while it’s happening and I can see that I’m being ridiculous, but I can’t stop it. And I know that it’s counter to what I actually need to be doing. I need to be like Jesse on Buffy after he gets bitten, cool.
It is hard for me to admit that I go overboard. But doing so means that I get to acknowledge that sometimes I need to step back because those awesome people of SFC are doing a good job of acting like normal people and sharing the story without the weirdness. Being self reflective isn’t always easy, but it is the only actual way to grow. And it might actually be the only way to help this community grow.
