Can a Sistah Get a Little Help?!?

The longer I live, the more fascinated I become with people...what they do...WHY they do (or DON'T do) what they do.

One thing that fascinates me most is the unwillingness of folks to help one another. Often times it's not that people CAN'T help...it's simply that they WON'T.

I am currently trying to help a friend put an event together. I "thought" I had some great "connections" who would assist me in helping my friend. NOPE. I have reached out to FIVE...count them FIVE people so far and have received ZERO response from 3 of them, 1 basically told me to do more research and try to find people who can help, and the other, although she wasn't able to help or point me in the right direction said that she would at LEAST support the cause once I do get everything in order.

Well...none of that has stopped me and tonight I reached out to yet ANOTHER individual, who, in MY mind...has EVERY resource available to help me...so the million dollar question is: Will he?

We'll see.

So...Let the DIALOGUE begin: Have you ever asked folks (who you KNEW could help you) for help, only to be denied or ignored?

Talk to me!

Til next time...
