Do You Ask For Help?
Are you reluctant to ask for help?Often times we think that asking for help is a sign of weakness. Or incompetence. Or a lack of independence.

Permission To Have Fun
For the first time in almost 20 years, my adult siblings and I took a vacation together. While we do get together for big events, it was quite the feat to get us all together for an ACTUAL vacation. My eldest brother planned and hosted the trip for the four of us and our partners, and it was…
