My struggle with perfection is a constant battle.
That’s why the last magnolia petal I’m sharing with you is the odd one. While there is something beautiful about it, it’s still my least favorite. I’m a walking oxymoron… in so many ways. One minute I’m talking about snowflakes and how beautiful the imperfections are and the next I’m tossing away petals with creases, and petals with rot and wrinkles.
I’ve been struggling in my podcast with this too… it’s so hard for me to let that very 1st episode go. It was even harder to do my very first unscripted episode.
I don’t have time to be perfect in this post today. I’m letting it go to you quicker than ever – barely edited.
I have a podcast to launch in 2 weeks, a pet photo session to edit, more “Life’s a Blur” images to edit for you, and suddenly we’re moving to THE perfect house the day after my (already revised) podcast date! I’m so excited about everything that’s happening, but let me just say: my plate is loaded, I feel like my eyes are bigger than my stomach, and it’s time to chow down baby!

Hey Beckster- Congratulations on the new house! I too have a considerable amount on my plate and can totally relate to your anxiety. I recently divorced, am in the process of selling my house and will be moving in with a friend next month in addition to taking Cody to Wyoming in a week as his graduation present (you believe he’s already graduated?). All the while, I am working like crazy full time. I guess what I’ve learned is that no matter how much you stress it doesn’t make things easier. Just relax and somehow everything works out. As it has been said “Things turn out best for the people who make the best out of the way things turn out.” However, the semi colon still makes me crazy-lol!………………….Best regards, Ray
Wow Ray. Seems like when the shit hits the fan it just keeps on splattering … I’m sorry to hear about your divorce, but I hope you can be hopeful about having a fresh outlook on life. I know that seems outlandishly optimistic, and if someone said that to me, I’d totally roll my eyes, but I truly believe that there’s always something sweet to accompany everything bitter.
Tell Cody I say congrats on the graduation! I hope you two have an awesome celebration trip!!!
You’re totally right, just breathe, this too shall pass =)
