Question of the Day: What are you bringing to a Memorial Day Potluck?

Let’s be real—I’m bringing a side of self-doubt and a heaping spoonful of “was I even invited?”

But sometimes questions like this tell us more than we expect.

It’s not really about the pasta salad or the chips and dip. It’s about whether we feel included, whether we have a community that expects us to show up, and whether there’s a place for us at the table—even if we’re not sure what to bring.

Memorial Day weekend is supposed to be about remembering, connecting, and showing up. But if you’re like me, you might be standing just outside the circle, wondering if your name even made the group chat.

Still, here’s what I’m bringing:

• A little humor
• A lot of honesty
• Maybe some of that off-brand soda no one asks for but everyone ends up drinking
  

Whatever you’re bringing—food, feelings, or your whole weird self—it’s welcome here.
