gift ideas
let’s get specific and stop saying this…
“Let me know if I can help!” I’ve often made this statement and have been on the receiving end of it (just recently in fact), but usually it can feel vague, leaving us (me) uncertain if our offer will be accepted. Surely you’ve offered this and your help was never requested. I personally have a […]
