A moment of transparency *sigh*, I do not like asking for help! There, I said it! Lol. Now, there are times when I feel a little better when asking: 1) I’m asking someone to whom I am close to or comfortable with, 2) I absolutely have to (I suck it up). There are times when I mess up royally, and in those times it makes it even more difficult to ask; not because I have a hard time admitting my faults, but because I don’t feel others should be dragged into it with me.

Sometimes I think we don’t value the importance and benefits of gaining wisdom from others, those that are older and wiser and those have been where you are currently.

She reminded me of how much we can learn from others just by…
