In my world lately, we are dealing with my sweet girl's frustrations when she is not immediately successful at something she is new to. She is a bit of a "perfectionist" and I am trying to get her to understand that "perfection" is not the goal. I want her to know that she should feel safe to try new things and know that with hard work and practice she can do anything! I want her to know that she is not "perfect" but that she will always be "perfect" to me!
Now I typically have a very clean style but I wanted for the theme of this page to show some "imperfection" if you will. So I cut out a flower from the Spring Fling collection and I crumpled it up into a ball. And that felt good. But I didn't stop there. Nope..I got out my sandpaper and I scratched it all up. There. Perfectly imperfect.

ReplyDeleteLove it and the message. I had one of those 'must be perfect' kiddos. I worried so much about him. He still demands perfection of himself as an adult, but has learned which areas to do that in and which to let go a little bit. Thank heavens!
