@Jo Henderson I’m really glad you said this out loud. 🤍 Wanting connection is human, and choosing to leave isolation behind is a powerful intention—especially after carrying it for so long. You don’t have to do this all at once, and you don’t have to know how yet. Even naming the desire to connect is a step forward. This space exists for moments just like this—to talk, to listen, and to not be alone in what you’re feeling. You’re welcome here, exactly as you are. 🤗 Also, our first virtual gathering called “Come Sit With Us” is this Thursday. You can find the link in the calendar.

@Jo Henderson I can definitely do that!

@Jo Henderson Hi Jo! Welcome to the Gathering Place. Nice to meet you. How are you?

@Jo Henderson Thank You! Members like you will definitely make it blossom!

@Aquisha Williams What has you feeling unworthy?

@Aquisha Williams Thank you for being brave enough to say this out loud. Feeling unappreciated can slowly chip away at how we see ourselves, especially when we’ve been giving so much of who we are. It makes sense that it would start to feel like you are the problem—even when you’re not. I want to gently remind you of this: Your worth is not created by how others acknowledge you. Appreciation feels good—and it matters—but your value existed long before anyone noticed, thanked, or validated it. You’re not wrong for wanting to be seen. You’re not asking for too much. And you are not unworthy because someone failed to recognize you. If you feel comfortable sharing, we’re here to listen. 💛 You don’t have to carry this alone. When was the last time you acknowledged yourself for what you’ve been carrying or contributing?
