Mission: Get Over Yourself – Part 2

Yesterday you read Part One to the Mission, and I shared some of my struggles. In my comments last night a very sweet friend of my by the name of Bouncin’ Barb left me a comment about her pride and gave me permission to share.

For those of you that don’t know Bouncin’ Barb this is her, you need to check out her blog after you finish with this post, she is one of my absolute favorites.

Now that you can put a face with a name. This is her story:

I hate asking for anything from anyone. My pride and the fact that I have been a responsible adult for 32 years has kept me from doing such. The beginning of this year I broke down and had to ask my step-son for financial help while we looked for a cheap rent somewhere. I seriously was at a breaking point. The stress was incredible. But I did what I did and I also shared my situation with all my blog buddies because I just couldn’t hold it in anymore. Low and behold we found the Love Shack, my step-son will help us until our cases are settled and a bunch of you wonderful people actually sent money along with well wishes and support. I’ve gained more since February than I’ve ever had before. Friends, supporters and unconditional love from total strangers. If that’s not enough to make a change I don’t know what is.

I’m glad I put my pride aside for once in my life.
