My dad always said you'll know when you're done growing if you're dead. Until then, you still have to things to learn, experiences to have, and ways to grow. I see no reason why our reinvented perfect can't include something along those lines!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04123785918632054720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5218215652328409330.post-81641658592720486672011-05-11T07:53:07.719-05:002011-05-11T07:53:07.719-05:00Oh, honey, I'm so sorry for your losses.

In the end, no matter what's going on choosing to spread a little love (liberally on ourselves) is the best heal all.flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07465768862975245860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5218215652328409330.post-79523058861219023532011-05-10T13:43:16.502-05:002011-05-10T13:43:16.502-05:00@SummerLen Exactly :D
@ESmall I am so sorry for y...@SummerLen Exactly :D<br /><br />@ESmall I am so sorry for your losses hun :( I wouldn't wish them on anyone.<br /><br />@Tara, Very good point with the perfection idea. I do like the idea of reinventing perfection to fit ourselves. We are perfect how we are, though I think perfection for ourselves always comes with work to make ourselves better. Not in how we look but how we feel, how we connect to the world, if that makes sense.Kayce Pearsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09894465019118859309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5218215652328409330.post-24858857914987701322011-05-10T12:02:56.549-05:002011-05-10T12:02:56.549-05:00Beautiful post and always good to hear for mothers...Beautiful post and always good to hear for mothers everywhere! I'm sorry for your losses too, and appreciate you sharing and using it as a way to remind us all that compassion for ourselves is just as - if not more so -necessary as it is for other people. And just because you're angry doesn't mean anything about the quality of person that you are - it's just part of the process. (I also find when I'm the most angry it's because I'm the most hurt and have a ton of grief). I disagree with the comment that we're not perfect. I think instead we need to reinvent the notion of perfection and maybe consider that we are perfect - as we are, and whatever that looks like. How else do we teach our children about the beauty of authenticity?Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04123785918632054720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5218215652328409330.post-63532235514315504482011-05-10T08:30:36.280-05:002011-05-10T08:30:36.280-05:00Kayce, I just recently found this site from a frie...Kayce, I just recently found this site from a friend and have had two m/c losses. I am so sorry for your losses and thank you for sharing. Loving ourselves definitley gets harder after losses, it has for me too, and this post was a great reminder.

Once becoming a wife and/...Kayce, this is so true. Once becoming a wife and/or mother, it is difficult to remember that we are still Just us. Life throws things at us that might cause us to stumble but we have to remember that we aren't perfect, we never will be, and that it's completely okay. BIG hugs to you for what you have been through. I'm glad that you are going to work on loving yourself more. For if you can't love yourself, how then can you love others?SummerLenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084918443009841760noreply@blogger.com
