  • NOT the Same Place

    “Don’t fear failure.  Fear being in the exact same place next year as you are today,” Michael Hyatt. Even the smallest steps can move us forward, and the exponential impact of a year of small steps can transform our lives.

  • Daily Spark: None of These Days

    I have really learned in my recovery journey that one of these days is NONE of these days. When I continue to overcome procrastination, fear, and perfectionism, by taking the smallest of steps, my dreams become that little bit closer, and I do in fact shine!

  • The Egomaniac with the Inferiority Complex

    The duality of feeling inferior, while also feeling superior, can be a symptom of perfectionism and addiction.  When I am externally motivated, and too worried about other’s opinions, it is harder for me to create, allow, and shine.

  • Worth Doing Poorly

    As a recovering perfectionist, I find the old quote from GK Chesterton, “Anything worth doing, is worth doing badly,” to be challenging, but oh so true. How good are you at taking a chance and doing something “badly”?
