Being Perfect

I may from time to time offer links to products or services on my blog. If you click those links, and make a purchase from them, I might get some money to take a vacation...and, by take a vacation, I mean hop on my bike and hit the open road {trails around my house} or maybe attend a movie if it's been a good month.  Thank you for contributing to my bliss!

Becoming “myself”…

What if you don’t like me?

What if I’m too different?

What if you abandon me, like so many before you?

What if’s fill my head, keeping me safe, inside my little bubble because…

In what areas of your life have you felt a need to be “perfect?”  Have you been able to let go of this need?

About Michele

Michele Bergh is a teacher, a student and a lover of life. She is a healing artist who enjoys a variety of mediums and also has a few mad techie skills up her sleeves. By day she primarily does WordPress design and development and works with others to create a blissful life. By night, you'll find her behind a camera lens, on her bike, in a big comfy chair, cooking up a storm in her kitchen or sewing while listening to great music (probably from the 70s) on her ipod. Her greatest joy comes from living a orgasmic life by design.

    Michele, I absolutely love what you wrote in your writing program with Jess Morrow. There are times where I know I did let go an awful lot of trying to reach for perfection… but then I am reminded in those moments that I still very much strive for perfection when it comes to solving my son’s autism and giving him the best life I can. I didn’t pick an easy subject to help me work out the letting go of perfection. I continue to have a tremendous amount of lessons in that for me. Well said. Thank you!

      Thanks, Suzanne! I really enjoyed Jess’ course. I kept a separate blog with all my writing and some feels too personal to share quite yet but I’m working on bringing it over into this blog and sharing more of it 🙂 Perfection is a tough one for me too, even though I can also see the progress I’ve made and the opportunities where I didn’t worry about it so much.

    I love this, Michele. The image is excellent. (Way to go, Jess Morrow!) Perfection is a frequent haunt for me. Like a pile of clay, I am working with it and working with it. I am trying to let go of ever getting there, but thinking more of appreciating the process of evolution TOWARDS it.

    Michele, This is a hard one. In many areas of my life. I’ve made progress, and it does seem to be a decision I need to make again, and again. But I’m not alone!
