Can I get a price check?
Our NE community consists of people living in community houses but also many people who are just a part of our family. I have a question for all of the above. What does/has community cost you?
I suppose it makes sense that I go first. Community has cost me my pride. I have also had to lay down my sense of "doing it all myself." Relying on people costs a lot more than I thought it would. I also have a competative nature. Not like in a sport, but I have to battle trying to be better than people, or on the flipside, living in their shadow. I have had to lay this down and pursue being equals. There are probably other ways that community has cost me but these are what stand out right now.
thanx for the encouragement Jeanie!
I look forward to reading peoples response.

thanx for your post Dan. Indeed it is about time someone did. I agree with you that there is joy in sharing in others pain. thanx for your vulnerability, compassion, and genuine care for others. I am stoked to be in this with you.
Not sure if you are aware but this blog is community owned, so anyone who feels like a part of our little community can post here. :)
