Walk a Mile in Her Shoes


The power of asking…

Yesterday I learned an important lesson… the importance of just asking for what you need or want.  I approached my daughters’ daycare director about holding a diabetes walk to fundraise for JDRF and she quickly and enthusiastically agreed.  I had carefully prepared what I was going to say and had anticipated a negative response so I was ready to ask her to give it some thought and then decide – which I still ended up saying, so I suppose I’ve now opened the door for her to change her mind, but I sure hope she won’t.  

I’m so excited but now also nervous about how I’m going to make this work and be a success.  I’ll be reviewing the walk materials JDRF has provided this weekend and start to make some plans!  This is so cool!
