Have you noticed what a challenge it is to get to know your neighbors? It is SO easy for me to live my own life, do my own thing, and completely ignore those who live just feet (yes, in our little neighborhood it is just feet) from me in my own neighborhood.
So . . . I decided to do something about it! I made flyers and left them in twenty doors inviting women to a Neighborhood Brunch at my house this coming Saturday morning! I didn’t even ask for RSVP’s because I didn’t want to know ahead of time if no one is coming!!! I will face it when it comes!! (I don’t always deal very well with rejection! J) I did meet a couple of women on the street and handed them the invitation and explained that it was just to visit and get to know who our neighbors are . . . Their reactions seemed somewhat stunned and non-committal and I must confess that I have thought to myself, “I don’t know if I would go if I was invited by a stranger!!” (My daughter says she would!)
So . . . we’ll see! By the way, my husband says he’s proud of me for trying. I think I’ve told you before that he is a good guy.
I will report back!
