Thank you so much, Kim, Angela, Jane, and Kelly!

Jane, I'm far from where you are with gorgeous pictures, a dedicated blog, and oodles of creativity...still, your point is well-taken in that it's not just in the eating, and there is such an opportunity for creativity.

Blessings and peace tonight to all,

That was very brave.

Oh my heaven, O!!!! That dish sounds amazing. I can't encourage you enough to just dig in to the kitchen and create. For me, I found such a sense of creativity through my cooking. It's not even about eating it either. It's about the textures and colors and endless photo ops. I just renamed my food blog to "Three Hail Marys and a bowl of cherries" since I still find myself throwing up a few

We perfectionist need to be more gentle with ourselves ! How great that you tried something new ! How it turned out is really beside the point ! But what you learned along the way... ah that is the point !

So glad you enjoyed my beautiful things today !
Cheers and blessings,

yertle, I so agree. I think it is good to do lots of things that you're "just okay" at, or even lousy at just to stay out of the perfectionist trap. At least that's what I'm determined to try! Peace and acceptance, O

How exciting! It is better to do something imperfectly than to not do it at all. That is the key to getting out of my perfectionist trap that keeps me from being brave sometimes. Thanks, I needed that.

Thanks, Leah :) Definitely creative, too!! Peace, ...

good for you for giving it a go! i bet it was great. trying a new recipe is definitely a brave act (i know it is for me.) how awesome that you were able to use eggs from your own chickens. that's so cool!

Yes, Chani, of course you're right! I am a recovering perfectionist, and at times I so struggle with it. And I agree that all that matters is the gift I wanted to give. :)

Gyrotonics is amazing. There isn't a lot of info out there about it. It's all about moving in a cyclical manner, and it's one on one with a trainer. I truly need this, and interestingly, I find her encouragement lasts

I would be willing to bet the chicken tasted great. I honestly believe that if you do something expecting perfection, you will make yourself unhappy. The real point is that you did something nice for your husband and enjoyed trying. That's all that matters. :)

Gyrotonics sounds very interesting. I'm going to follow up on that.
