ReplyDeleteI love Allison for saying this! Thank you Cristie for the napkin lady and "her" wisdom!
ReplyDeleteI love this one! I definitely need to just take it in sometimes instead of trying to help. Receiving is sometimes much harder than giving.

ReplyDeleteI tend to be a fixer too. So much harder to sit back and let others take the lead.
