A friendly reminder to ask for help. Out loud. With your words.
You don’t even have to ask another person.
Sometimes you just need to hear your own voice admit, I’m having a hard time with this awful feeling thing. I could really use some help, please.
I did that very thing two nights ago, driving home after closing my friend’s brewery. I was ruminating on a healthy decision I had made, questioning if I should revert to old, unhealthy, comfortable patterns.
Now, I know intellectually I made the healthy choice, but because my decision had consequences that were uncomfortable and new it was tempting to revert to what I had known all my life.
I didn’t like sitting in that in-between two lives moment, so I asked for help, out loud, in my car. Within 3 minutes a message popped onto my phone, (completely unsolicited) confirming that yes, I was doing the right thing, and to stay the course.
Things feel hard for a lot of us right now. The nights are getting longer, the cold is setting in. There is help available. Ask. You’re worth it.

The new 7 cards is up. The final sum up card really surprised me this week. I like it when that happens.
Have a good week. Stay warm & snuggle your kitties & puppies extra because the cold makes them extra wonderful right now.
