When I am feeling distressed or overwhelmed, I easily default to anger, sadness, helplessness, and fear. I am also prone to wanting immediate gratification. What does not come naturally to me, is asking for help and to pause … wait.

Over the years I have cultivated my own creative and powerful approach to asking for the help I need at any time. While I still may struggle at times with asking part, the help and guidance I receive is nothing less than grace itself.

I know I’ve reached a certain age and I’ll admit there’s a kind of freedom and peace that comes with aging but I don’t want to feel like I have passed the point of no return.
