I was recently asked a question and struggled with the answer. That seemed like a perfect journal prompt.

I did it again. I dropped the ball on something I was working on. I usually am on top of things. But this one slipped through the cracks. I immediately started the personal rant “I should not have this job” “I can’t do anything right” “I always screw things up”. Well, that isn’t exactly true.

With this in mind, this week my journal prompt leads me to looking at the word “failure” and asking the question, “Is it a subjective word (based on feelings and opinions) or an objective word (based
“I didn’t know it was a dream.” That is what my friend Brenda said during our recent interview. I met Brenda nearly 20 years ago. During this time we have walked with each other through miscellaneous highs and lows of life. Today, Brenda has 2 local Tea Rooms and an Antique Mall. I sat down

I stood in front of the mirror looking at me in a swimsuit. It was to be our first outing to the pool. As I stared at my reflection those negative voices started in. “You look like a beached whale” “People are going to laugh at you” “Are you really going out in public like

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,
