Oh My -it never fails to amaze me that each time I think I have it figured out, I don't!! That even though I speak about our life being a process and we are never 'done', I forget that for myself all the time. Which helps me to remember that I do not have to be perfect to be wonderful.  I know I have said that before but I want to keep saying it because I know that in our culture, perfection is often held up as the model.
Last night I was watching the figure skating finals in the Olympics. The commentators kept repeating how the Asada from Japan and and Yu-na from Korea were the symbols for their respective countries and only a gold medal would be good enough.
There is only one gold medal. Where does that leave the young woman who does not get it? Is she really failure? Is that what we as a world think? That is the implication. Isn't getting to the Olympics enough anymore?
I say yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And join me in changing the way the world thinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
