Every day I ask myself the question “What is enough?” Everyone has a different answer to the same question. And every day, the answer can be very different than the day before. “Enough” seems to get lost in the chaos of life. We give more than we want to. We continue to carry a load

Do you ever walk away from a conversation thinking to yourself “if they only knew such-and-such about me”. That is at the center of this week’s journal prompt.

I describe myself as a Recovering Perfectionist with a Type A personality and OCD tendancies. I struggle with finding ‘good enough’. When will I be good enough? Is it possible to be good enough. What if someone doesn’t think I am good enough? These questions haunt me, and as I have spoken with other women,
