Not to minimize such life-long patterns (I have my own!), but just like DB, baby steps. Pick something small and just ask (I know, I know).
Funny you should write that just now. Just got off the phone from leaving my IC a voicemail, requesting her to give me a call if/when she had an availability. Ridiculous the amount of courage that took.

Wow that sounds wonderful. Either locations look like great options. We're near the Rockies in our location, and there's nothing like it. (Not to boast about the west though... I'm a little biased!)
I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
