Asking For Help Is Never Easy
If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve probably noticed that things have been a little quieter lately.
The truth is, I was recently hospitalized.
After years of taking the same medication, my doctors had to completely change everything because of fluid around my heart and uncontrolled blood pressure. While I’m incredibly grateful to be home, adjusting to these medications has been harder than I expected.
I’ve always been someone who works.
Not because I have to…
Because I genuinely enjoy it.
Most people don’t realize that I drive for Spark. My days are filled with shopping for customers, walking mile after mile through stores, loading groceries, and carrying everything from cases of water to bags of dog food.
It’s physical.
It’s active.
And I actually love it.
The problem is…
Right now, my body doesn’t.
Yesterday I tried doing a little yard work.
I think I pulled about twenty weeds before I was completely exhausted.
Twenty weeds.
That was a humbling moment.
It reminded me that healing isn’t something I can force.
It has to happen one day at a time.
So… Why Am I Sharing This?
Because I don’t have paid time off.
When I don’t work…
I don’t get paid.
My husband continues working incredibly hard, but one income simply isn’t enough to cover everything while I recover.
So I’m doing what I know how to do.
I’m writing.
I’m creating.
I’m building Heather’s Fireside.
Because while my body needs rest…
My purpose doesn’t.
If My Work Has Ever Helped You…
There are a few ways you can support me during this season.
🔥 Option One
If you’ve been thinking about joining my 30-Day People-Pleaser Challenge, now is a wonderful time.
Every purchase not only supports my family during recovery, but helps me continue creating more resources for people who are ready to stop surviving and start living authentically. (Plus, I am actually working!!!!)
❤️ Option Two
If the challenge isn’t for you but you’d simply like to help me keep Heather’s Fireside growing while I recover, I’ve created a GoFundMe.
Every donation, no matter the size, helps bridge the gap while I regain my strength.
🤍 Option Three
If you can’t do either of those…
Would you consider sharing this post?
Sometimes the greatest gift isn’t money.
It’s helping the right person find the message they needed to hear.
That kind of generosity creates ripples we’ll probably never see.
Thank you…
For reading.
For sharing.
For believing in what I’m building.
For allowing me to be vulnerable enough to ask for help when I need it.
I truly believe Heather’s Fireside exists for a reason.
Right now…
I’m simply asking for a little help tending the fire until I’m strong enough to carry more wood again.
With gratitude,
Heather
