I won’t say too much about today.
Just two little stories. Two amazing women - mothers, teachers, TESOLers - who came up to me at the Big SIG event, almost in tears.
“I wanted to come earlier, but my little one wouldn’t let me. Sunday is our day, you see…”
“I’m sorry, I can only stay for a little while. I just wanted to feel the energy. To see you all.”
They both stayed for less than an hour.
And somehow, that hour was enough.
🌀Enough to feel the energy.
🌀Enough to feel the connection.
🌀Enough to remember what it means to belong to a professional community that is also deeply human. 💙
Since joining the Greece Board, so much of my energy and passion has gone into one thing: community.
Creating spaces where people want to come.
Even for an hour.
Even when life is full.
Even when Sunday belongs to someone else.
Today, on this - so full September - Sunday these two amazing women reminded me why. And they were not the only ones.
All of you who came even for a little, please remember. Community is not measured by how long you stay.
Sometimes, it is measured by how much it matters that you came. ✨
Thank you to everyone who made today’s Big SIG event feel exactly like that.
