I'm imperfect and I can prove it

Imperfect does not mean broken
I crack myself up.  You'll never guess what I did (or didn't do) this month.

I didn't order art supplies for the class I am now half-way through.

I shopped for them.  
I whined about not knowing what I was doing.
I blogged about the risk of creativity.
I worried that my supplies hadn't arrived.
I checked my email for order confirmation - and - nothing!
I checked every plastic card I own for a charge to the art supply places I might have used.  Nada.

So I have done all of the homework in Brene Brown's online class - except for the part that challenged me the most...playing with paint.

Here's a handy little Self-Compassion Scale developed by Dr. Kristin Neff, a researcher and professor at the University of Texas at Austin that helped me extend some compassion for this faux pas.  Hope you enjoy it, too!

I am a 4.75 on the compassion scale, boy have I come a long way!
