Welcome to Rise Plus. Drop a hello in the comments below and include the following things: - Where you are coming from, whether that is a literal place or an energetic one. - Something you have already read or seen in Rise that caught your attention, such as a lesson, a thread, or Leo’s video. - One thing that you are building in your life right now. - One question that you have about Rise, the Classroom, or your own practice. - A meme for Leo, If you do not have a meme to share, that is fine. The rules for the Pineapple Express still apply inside this thread, which means there is no talk of trauma, politics, suicide, self-harm, or harming others. If someone needs to say something heavy, please post it in The Grove instead of here. Every member who posts a hello is asked to reply to at least one other person’s introduction as well. A reply can be a question about something that person wrote, or an answer to the question that person asked. Please hit like on the introductions you read, because the like lets each person know that their post was seen. The Start Here post pinned under General Discussion has the full map of where everything else in Rise Plus goes.

@Joseph Craft, Welcome to Rise! Can you take a moment to tell us about yourself? You are welcome to drop a meme that you feel resonates with yourself.

@Anette Reinke Welcome! Can you tell us where you are from? If you like, can you share one of your favorite memes with us? This a heavy space where we use humor to decompress and poke fun at our selves. One of my very favorite mems is the Grumpy Cat. Entire empires were based on this cats grump.
