Many, many years ago a very good friend of mine asked me if I thought I was a perfectionist.
I think she was doing some therapy sessions of her own at the time and the topic had come up. I know she was reading The Road Less Travelled by M. Scott Peck. I remember because she gave me a copy.
Today I went running.
It's been awhile. We've had a few things going on at home. Which made it really easy for me not to prioritise something that is really important and good for me and instead stay home and drink wine.
I remember going to this corporate event once.
Some girl talked herself in - she wasn't supposed to be there enjoying the open bar and catered food. But there she stood, having sweet talked the host into letting her in.
Earlier in the week a gorgeous friend of mine (you know who you are) posted this article on Facebook.
I read it and "liked" it. But you know what I "liked" more? The comment her friend added underneath that read "Hmmm, do they have an article titled "Love your Parents. Leave them Alone"? I would like to read that one!!"
