Women Who Lift Us Up

Sometimes we need to let people know we need their help or support, and amazing things happen when we do.

I usually pretend I am the tough one, the one who has it all together. I promise, this is usually not the case!

I am as frazzled as the next mom, Trying to juggle four things like any mom entrepreneur.

Well these past few weeks have been tough, and unlike me, I reached out. I said that four letter word. HELP.

Guess what happened. Go on. Guess

Yup. That's right. I was offered help. Emails of checking in with me, offers of coffee dates (one of my favorite ways to drink my coffee by the way, hint hint), twitter shout-outs, amazing support.

Why didn't I reach out before? Why do we busy moms think that we have to do it all alone? Why do we pretend we do not need help? It is not a sign of weakness. Honest. I checked.

So to all those who have reached out, gave me an inspiring word or two, shared coffee with me, or just listened.
THANKS
You made my year.

I am here to repay the favor. I am so fortunate to be living where I do, working with the amazing women I have the privileged of working with in both Central Alberta and momstown.
