Resolving to accept help when offered.



Backstory

A dear friend of mine told me about her year accepting the help of friends when it was offered. It was inspiring. So often I try to tough it out and go it alone... sometimes you need to let people help you. If you don't, they will stop offering. So... it's a practice in humility and being open and grateful.

It's also empowering to help others -- when you ask and trust someone to follow through, it strengthens your relationship. Of course, there's a balance, but knowing how to ask is AWESOME! Thanks for this reminder.
