Just Say NO

I felt like this float on Thursday evening...not because I'd taught in the morning, presented a workshop in Baton Rouge in the afternoon, or sat in two hours of rush hour traffice to get back to New Orleans at 7:30pm to get ready to head to St. Louis Friday morning at 6am. A huge piece of care for Dali and Sam collapsed that made it impossible for me to go forward with my plans to go to St. Louis. I am not someone who finds it easy to ask for help. I am NOT a last minute person. When I do ask, it's because I really need help. I try to do it respectfully and considerately. I have learned a lesson here. Please don't say yes when you mean NO. Just say NO!

You have it exactly right Niels. To be honest, it was very hard for me to understand too and very upsetting. I'm making the most of my time in New Orleans though. Hope you and Bodil are having a nice weekend! Love, Laury

Hi Laury, sorry to read this ! As I read it, I might have misunderstood, it sounds like people who actually are not ready to help, but say yes, when they in fact are not ready or able to help, and that is really horrible ! take care, hope things are getting better soon ! love niels
