If you haven't figured out by now.....
I have grown into a person who pretty much backs off.
While I certainly have opinions...
strong ones...
you won't know what they are unless you ask.
And if you need help
you will probably have to ask.
Especially if you are a child of mine
and I have to dance between
being a helpful friend or an interfering or enabling parent.
At any rate, I have a situation where a child is in charge of something
and NOT asking for help
Probably because they are dancing between
asking a friend for help or running to mommy.
and my gift today
is butting in
and asking....
no....
INSISTING
on helping.
It's a dance,
relationships are messy
and we are often out of sync
But sometimes the reaching out
feels RIGHT..
[and, of course, might be ALL WRONG... but therein lies the challenge and the absolute necessity of acting out of a GIVING space and not taking reactions personally]
