“There’s a modern and western world thought that if we do everything ourselves, we are more virtuous or capable—that is baloney. If we ask for help it is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign of strategy.” —Lisa Canning, interior designer, HGTV contributor, author of The Possibility Mom, and mother to eight children all under the age of 10.
