This hit home with me big time!

My life coach gave me the “homework assignment” of making a list of people to ask something of.

I made it a calendar reminder that pops up weekly to remind me that this is important and most weeks I don’t take any action where this is concerned.

You are so right in that this isn’t easy. But the more this reminder pops up, the more I’ve been getting used to the idea and have finally started taking some steps to do this.

It’s actually pretty nice to receive support, and you’re right, when we’re in the position to help others it brings us joy. :)

I 100% identify with having trouble asking for help and letting "should's" get in the way. I also absolutely love the photo of you when you were helping out with parenting at 2 y.o.!!! It sets the tone impeccably.
