I always desire to be improving upon our living spaces, our gardens, our self care products and routines, our bed linens… you name it. I’m grateful for this drive. I feel creative and resourceful. I feel open to change and willing to progress.

Of course sometimes I allow myself to become overwhelmed by this characteristic as well. When not kept in check, it can morph quickly in to people pleasing, envy, striving, negative criticism, and ultimately perfectionism. Ah!

Life is so much more fulfilling when I remind myself to be present in my experiences. Do you feel that too?

Good or bad, happy or sad. There is no need to be perfect, only present.

“Present not perfect”

Present with myself and with my kids. Present in my friendships and present in my choices. Present with my anger and my sadness. Present with my joy and my victories.

“Progress not perfection.”
