Showing Up

The Lone Star Ladies Giving Challenge

One of the strongest lessons from my conversation with the Lone Star Ladies was about showing up.

Not with answers.
Not with solutions.
But with presence.

Revis and Lashawn spoke about how real leadership in Texas often looks quiet. It looks like standing with someone. Listening first. Understanding the land, the people, and the moment before deciding what comes next.

That insight shaped this week’s Giving Challenge, which we’re calling:

The Show-Up Challenge

The Challenge:
This week, show up for someone without trying to fix anything.

That might look like:

  • Listening fully before offering advice

  • Letting someone name their own need

  • Sitting with discomfort instead of rushing to resolve it

  • Being present without an agenda

This week, resist the urge to lead with solutions.
Lead with attention instead.

Because sometimes the most generous thing you can give begins with a genuine commitment to those in need.
