Caught your attention? Good. There is an epidemic pillaging our minds. The belief of not feeling good enough. Not feeling adequate. Not feeling enough period. For women, it seems to be a right of passage. The beast in the underbelly of our minds shouting "You suck!". Be and do more as a friend, boss, employee, entrepreneur, mother, daughter, wife, girlfriend, woman, human being. Fuck, that is exhausting.

Seeking perfection before moving forward on, well,  anything is one of the ways we stay on the brink of showing up fully in this world. For me waiting for something to be perfect kept me on the sidelines of the life I saw for myself. And now even though I have the tools to notice when perfection is getting in the way, it still shows up uninvited (the nerve!). Seriously, I am sitting here writing this blog and it is yapping in my ear. 

Last Monday I was flying from San Diego to Seattle. Two women sat catty-corner to me and didn't seem to have ever met before. I have no idea what their names were but lets call them Jane and Laura. From the moment Jane sat down next to Laura they were in conversation. Jane was in San Diego for a family wedding. Within minutes they were flipping through photos of the big day.
