Today Scottie and I talk about what to do when you have that feeling that you’d like knee surgery so you can have a week off. It’s not a good sign, and you need to take action and simplify. You may be looking for an outside authority to let you know you can have time off, but you are the authority over your life. What can you do to help yourself?

I love feedback! Email me at ruth@ruthamos.com.au, find me on Facebook at Ruth Amos Author or Tweet me @aquietlifeblog.

This week, Scottie and I talk about asking for help. It’s a strength, not a weakness. It’s good to use our strengths to help others, and ask for their help with the things that don’t come so easily to us.

How do you give and receive help? Let me know by emailing ruth@ruthamos.com.au or on Twitter @aquietlifeblog or on Facebook at Ruth Amos Author.

This week I talk to Scottie about a lesson I learned while plodding along the beach. I was going slowly but there was a good reason for it. And comparing myself to others wasn’t helpful. It very rarely is.
