A friend sent me a text recently that began with these words, “I know how busy you are, but I was wondering if….” In an instant, conviction hit me. I thought to myself, “Hmmmmh! Is that the vibe I am giving out to the world… that I am too busy?” My friend needed my time but was hesitant to make a request of me because she felt she might be bothering me. And yet, if we are totally honest, how often have we all uttered the phrase, “I am so busy.”
