Community. Where have you discovered community, online or otherwise, in 2010? What community would you like to join, create or more deeply connect with in 2011? (Author: Cali Harris)
2010 did not turn out to be as community oriented as I would have liked. While I did slightly deepen my involvement in one group, I let me commitment to another group -- one which I was already fairly involved with -- slide. The last few months have seen me realizing that I need to take a look at the communities I am involved in and decide what roles they can and should play in my life. Not to sound self-centered, but if a given community can not provide the kind of connection that I want and need, why should I devote excessive energy to trying to become more involved with it? I need to find the right balance.
One place where I did find community in 2010 was in my clan at Twilight Covening. Although that was a temporary community, I am grateful for the experience for showing me what is possible.
In 2011 I want to find or create a mutually supportive spiritual community, whether that be in blogosphere or in the physical world (though I will admit to a preference for the latter) or even both! To get a bit more specific, I would love to have people who I spoke with at least once a week. We would share our triumphs and struggles as we grow along our various spiritual paths, share resources and experiences, and support one another's growth.
