AKP Coaching

For several weeks now I’ve been getting snackservicedurham] and I am so happy! Everything so far has been delicious and I feel so well fed. 🥰

My children crushed my cooking mojo with their picky kid eating, and then I’m not sure why but my cooking skills seem to be on hiatus. Almost ever I make is a flop. I love food and eating so that has been pretty sad. Until…

snackservicedurham] came into my life! And now I eat with joy and delight once again.

Get on the email list and get you some too! 🙌🥰

I’ve been thinking about how I’m 50 years old all day. 50!

*update, it wasn’t my birthday, I was just marveling at being 50 😊 My birthday is in April 🌷😁

Weird.

Cool. 😊

Sometimes the help or comfort we want to give is not the help or comfort someone wants or needs.

The intention behind all these oranges and gloves, warm hat and toothbrush is good and kind. But what about the person it was given to? Are they homeless? Can they carry it all? What if their pockets are already full of the few things they need and love? What then?

So often we want to help, but the way we want to help is for us, and the way we want to help is our way of helping or comforting. If we are present and not on autopilot we can see what is actually needed in each unique and individual situation. Being the way the person who needs help or comforting is asking for.

To have given the respect to this person, to let them decide, and to wait patiently while they do. To say “Do you want this?” instead of “I want you to take this.”
