Wonderfully Imperfect

About This Site

i am a woman on the edge -- on the edge of greatness, of mania, and of wonder and amazement, all at the same time.

i am an artist and a corporate refugee, who has struggled and derailed and been really STUCK....and who continually dusts herself off.

here i share my artistic and personal journey, and how i became known as the "princess of getting up again" and the "imp-ress of imperfection"

it's a celebration of continually focusing on "being where i am," and never coming from a place of lack or "not good enough". it's a celebration of being "wonderfully imperfect", and you're invited!

ENOUGH

My friend Kristina shared something that ROCKED MY WORLD this morning:

HER friend, who is a sculptor and artist in her own right, said..." she would love to paint a room where every square inch, every chair, every window, in every color, had the word “Enough” written there. And that when people walked in, wouldn’t it be nice if that’s what they felt, that everything about them, everything in their lives was just “Enough".”

OH MAN, I WANNA DO THIS IN A BAD WAY!!!

Wish we weren’t workin on our living room, cuz my studio would be EMPTY in 2 minutes flat! (Ok, well make that about 282 minutes...cuz I got a LOTTA STUFF.)

But seriously - I love this!!

It’s so hard, for me and for most folks I know, to realize that we DO have enough.
That we’re GOOD ENOUGH!
THAT WE ROCK!

That we have enough stuff, enough resources, enough abilities...ENOUGH LOVE.

Then I wonder:

DO we HAVE ENOUGH LOVE in this world, a world of war and ______ (fill-in-the-blanks)??!

MAYBE WE DO...AND WE JUST DON’T CHOOSE TO SEE IT, OR TO RECOGNIZE IT.

What she shared SO ties in for me to another post I’d written about worrying about being
a good parent or a good ANYTHING:

http://www.wonderfullyimperfect.com/index.php/wimperfect/comments/we-have-everything-we-need/

“we have everything we need
we have everything we need
we have everything we need”

That was my little mantra for the day....’cause it’s so EASY for me to come from a place of fear and lack.
Yeah, it’s EASY for me to talk abundance and feel powerful
when things are going well

It’s TOUGH to see beyond the daily needs and recognize IT’S ALL HERE.

And if we COULD LIVE THAT WAY --- HOW WOULD THAT CHANGE YOUR DAY? YOUR LIFE?

Reminders like having “ENOUGH” on a wall....AHHHHHHHHHHH! I NEED THESE!!!

(OK-now i’m newly motivated to get done with this frigging living room!
In case you didn’t know, here’s what’s going on in my “spare time”:

Wow - this post hit home today! I’ve been a little down in the dumps about different things and doing a bit of a pity party. But, what your post helped me realize is I really do have enough! I’m doing well in all aspects of my life - creatively, work environment, and my home life! All good or better than good!

All I need to do is remember that I have enough and keep my thoughts out of the dump! Thank you!

Love this. I have long been enamored of the line from Christmas Carol when Tiny Tim, with the smallest of helpings of a meager dinner cheerful says he has had enough and his father says, “Enough. What a wonderful thing to be able to say I have enough.”
Brava for this post, my dear!
