The best kind of showing up is when you make an offer of specific help. You don’t text someone and say, “Let me know if you need anything.” Because if they’re like me, they will never ask for help. And I think the best specific offer is the thing that you already love to do, maybe that only you can do. If you love dogs, you offer to walk someone’s dogs. If you love mowing the lawn, you go and mow someone’s lawn. I’ve been the recipient of so many beautiful acts of showing up.
