(Five Minute Friday-Set your timer. Write for 5 minutes. Boom.)One of the things I have learned as I age is: not much is as it appears.The beautiful, thin girl in the great outfit who makes you feel like a tub of lard?She probably has an eating disorder.The girl down the street with the house that is always spotless and a to-do list with every item marked off at the end of the day?She is in bondage to her own perfectionism and need to control.The girl who makes everyone laugh and seems to … [Read more...]
She is Better than Me, Dealing with Comparison
She is Better than Me, Dealing with Comparison Hello, Friends! You might not like me very much after this post. I'm going to confess something today and it isn't pretty.
