I’ll always remember my grandmother “Baboo” saying, “I’m willing to help anyone who’s willing to help themselves.” And she meant it. She was one of the most generous people I’ve ever known, but she was NOT an enabler. How’d she know?? đ
She wasn’t judgy or preachy, she just had clear boundaries with her time, energy and resources and she honored it. In her wisdom, I always knew I had support, but more importantly, that I had a choice about my own life. And she always gave room for error – she just didn’t give chance after chance when she saw a pattern. Instead, she’d just love you and let you figure it out on your own.
I’m grateful that’s how she showed up for me, because I’ve carried that philosophy with MY children and grandchildren, as well as my own life (albeit I’ve done a lot of do-overs đ¤Śââď¸), and with my clients and community. And I LOVE the people I get to work with because of it. When they know something’s off and they’re ready to do something about it, they show up for themselves. They just need someone who knows how to help them get there. That’s me! đââď¸
I’ve been thinking about that a lot and it’s inspired me to do something a little different this month, to support YOU. If you want to know more, drop me a YES reply and I’ll fill you in Thurs.
